Plexconnect on FreeNAS

[amires]

you need to start it like this :

bash /path_to_PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start

You also need to edit the mentioned file and find the line that references python and change it to : /usr/bin/python

By the way make sure you have python python2 and python27 installed. You will need bash as well

pkg install bash python python2 python27

Have all those installed (triple checked - won't install as it says they are already there)

But there is no python inside of /usr/bin

Any idea why?

 

[amires]

Hmm, i dont have access to my freenas right now what about /usr/local/bin/python ?

Also run pkg list_installed and check that all required packages are installed.

 

[TurbineSeaplane]

Ok - So /usr/local/bin/python works

--But I must have something else screwed up.

I can get PlexConnect to start, but after about 15 seconds, checking it's status says it's not running.

I must have a path to Python screwed up on another file now after all this messing around. :-(

You better get a fresh copy of PlexConnect and start over, the only files you need to modify are PlexConnect_daemon.bash and settings.cfg do not touch anything else.

Will do & report back - thx

Re-installing and ensuring to only touch those 2 files has made it all work great, thank you for all your help!!!
