PLEX -> fvdw-sl-17-0?

[davilovic]

Hello!

Does the PLEX addon work with fvdw-sl-17-0? I just installed this firmware and I'm not sure if it works with this version.

Regards.

Hi davilovic,

yes it works

Code: Select all

root@Acrab:/ # plexmediaserver
Usage /usr/bin/plexmediaserver [ start | stop | status | restart | version | install | uninstall | update | boot_status | plugout-login [login:password]]

        install         use the lastest synology package available for armv5 processor
                        (download from plugout.net)

        update          upgrade your pms with the lastest synology package
                        (should be useless as there is no longer support for armv5)

        start           after updating or installing, you need to leave your box (and Plex) running for at least 30 minutes !

        status          display if pms is running or not

        boot_status     enable/disable pms at the next nas booting

        plugout-login   set login credentials for downloading package from plugout.net
                        if login credentials contain spaces you need to quote them: "my login:my password"

[davilovic]

Ok! I'll try to install it

Thank you for your work

[davilovic]

Which installer is correct? is there any difference?

->addons-15.3-plex-21nov14.zip
->fvdw-sl-16.1-pms-dwld-package-31jan17.zip

Thank you
Regards


ok, the only difference is if the passwd contains spaces.

[Jocko]

Maybe you missed this information at the top of the topic

Plex add-on only for fvdw-sl-15.3.

With later version, this add-on is useless (firmware image will include the plexmediaserver script)

So addons-15.3-plex-21nov14.zip must be used only with version 15.3 (and if you try you won't manage to install it).

For versions 16.0 and later (so also 17.0) you can use directly the plexmediaserver script.

As for version

Affected version: fvdw-sl-15.3 16.0 and 16.1

, we detected the download url was broken, we release a patch for these versions (fvdw-sl-16.1-pms-dwld-package-31jan17.zip)
Of course we included the last patched script in version 17.0 and then it is useless to install the patch on version 17.0 (and if you try you won't manage to install it).

So you just need to run the script as described on my previous post after setting your plugout account

Code: Select all

plexmediaserver plugout-login "my login:my password"

[davilovic]

Thanks Jocko for your time and clarification!

Hello,
I have set my credentials which I'm sure are good with

Code: Select all

plexmediaserver plugout-login [login:password]

but when executing plexmediaserver install
I got

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/ # plexmediaserver install
   Installing Plex...

Downloading plex package from plugout...
Could not download package
Can not login!


Any clue ?

[Jocko]

Hi

Just be sure:

on the usage output oh the linux man, [xxx] means an option, and [] must not use in the command line.

plexmediaserver help usage says also for plugout-login option

plugout-login set login credentials for downloading package from plugout.net
if login credentials contain spaces you need to quote them: "my login:my password"

So the right command is plexmediaserver plugout-login "my login:my password" if they contain spaces or plexmediaserver plugout-login mylogin:mypassword (without space).

Hello Jocko,
Yes of course. I used double quote " "
even if my login and password doesn't contain space...
but may be it's an issue with my abc account ?
It's still asking me an additional captcha when login manually on the web interface...
Thanks
Uby

Indeed captcha may be the issue. (there were 11 attempts in our database)

I cleaned the database and then the captcha should be no longetr asked
