Hi, I've not used Plex before, though I'm a moderately experienced sysadmin and know my way around unix and networking.
I just installed plexmediaserver-1.18.2.2058 via 'pkg' into a jail running 11.3-RELEASE-p6, under FreeNAS 11.3-U1. I've enabled 'allow raw sockets' on the Jail, and IPv6 & IPv4 are enabled.
I previously created a Plex account via the Plex portal. After starting plexmediaserver using the start script provided in the package, I connected to the new server on port 32400. The browser was redirected to the Plex portal and a login was required, and I supplied the account credentials and was logged in.
'Some stuff happened', then, I saw the 'No Soup for You' message. I closed the browser session, and restarted the local plexmediaserver instance. After logging in again, the Plex portal appeared to be working OK.
However, the 'Plex Server Setup' process, which I believe should happen automatically at first login, did not happen. Sure enough, on the Plex portal, under Account:Authorized Devices, the newly-installed local plexmediaserver instance IS NOT LISTED.
At the top level of the portal, under 'Your Media', there is no option to add any media, instead there is just a button, labelled 'Get Plex Media Server'.
So, I'd be very grateful for any pointers to how to make this thing work. I can't find any manual, and Google didn't help much.
