Were you able to resolve this? If not, what exact CLI command did you use?

Yes I followed these instrutions:-

Step by Step install of Plex inside a Freenas jail.
1. Manually create a generic jail.
2. Create/link storage for that jail.
3. Go back to the main jails tab.
4. Select plex jail and then select shell command.
5. type "pkg upgrade" then press Y
6. type "pkg install plexmediaserver-plexpass" or "pkg install plexmediaserver"
7. Once done type "sysrc plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable=YES" or "sysrc plexmediaserver_enable=YES" depending on what version you installed.
8. Once done type "service -R"
9. in a browser, navigate to your plex jail's assigned IP:32400\web
10. Login into plex.

To update Plex Jail
1. Go to the main jails tab
2. Select plex jail and then select shell command.
3. type "pkg upgrade"
4. type "pkg update"
5. then type "service -R" you are now updated

And which exact command gave the error? I assume it was one of the jail creation commands?

 

[Nitro626]

The error came from trying to install plex from the listed addons from the FreeNAS WEB UI.

So to get round that I installed plex from command line within a created Jail
