Another Reason I Find Linux Superior to Windows - Setting Up My Plex Server
-
So I had tried setting up a Plex server a couple months ago on my Windows 7 VM. I installed it and managed to connect the libraries for TV Shows, Movies and Music, but it just never worked right. Well, I abandoned the project after a lot of frustration and left it at that. Well, last night I decided to try again, but this time to do it right. I spun up another Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS VM on my ESXi box. I installed Pertino, the Unitrends agent for backup, and Plex. I opened the web interface, added the libraries, and sure enough, it works like a charm! I setup the port forwarding and can stream it over the WAN no issue. I LOVE IT! It just works! Now if only I could get Pertino installed on my UEB...

i setup plex on my win7 pc without any issues. Port forwarding for outside access is setup as well. It took me all of 30 minutes to install and configure so i could watch on any device inside my network. I'm not sure what issues you had however.

In all fairness, it may have been the VM I was using. I just rebuilt a new version of it, as it had originally come from my first and only ever P2V. It never seemed stable, but the new VM is much more so.
