Plex Media Server

AFAIK, no. Before we package plex, we have to add some support for hardware transcoding for the media apps. @nebulon is working on this for emby/jellyfin. Once we have support in the package in place, it makes sense to package plex.

I would love to see Plex in here. Its got the best of Jellyfin and Emby for me. Shareplay from Jellyfin (new) and properly functioning apps for mobile and smart TVs from Emby. And more! And hardware transcoding is a thing now I believe?

@avatar1024 Libresonic then? I believe that supports video and audio streaming?
wrote on Oct 28, 2020, 6:14 PM last edited by@murgero sorry I'm getting back this thread after the war. Seems like Airsonic is the most maintain package and Libresonic is mostly depreciated.
More info on here: https://airsonic.github.io/
But it seems like it's really more music orientated whereas Plex/Emby/Jellyfin are more for videos.

@avatar1024 It's waiting for the volume support in the next Cloudron release (see Announcements thread about Cloudron 6). With the volume support, you can mount host paths into apps. This is required to bring in "external media" into apps. Currently, you have to copy over all your media into the app container and this will also be part of the backup, not ideal for media apps.

Plex has a install for linux so I do not know why Cloudron could not do it. Seedboxes do it so it has to be able to be done. I want to one up this request.

@sh3lsh0ck Plex can definitely can be packaged for Cloudron. Just a matter of time.

But in terms of privacy, it’s the cream de la cream of streaming apps.

@girish - In all reality, is Plex on the radar still? I have everything in Plex and tried (and hated) Emby and Jellyfish.
@ajtatum yes, don't see why not. I think one issue when I last checked was tha Plex was not using local login i.e while the plex installation is local, the authentication is via their cloud. I don't know if this is still the case.

wrote on Aug 20, 2022, 4:14 AM last edited by@girish I'm not sure how I know this, but I've heard that with seedboxes when someone sets up a Plex Server you have to go to plex.tv/claim and it gives them a code so that the local Plex Server can be associated with that account without having to login first. I don't know if that helps at all, but like I said... it's just something I've heard.

@necrevistonnezr I just remember cloudron uses iptables to manage it's firewall and will only allow certain ports it is aware to be open.
See your PM for details.
Essentially we need to allow the plex port:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 32400 -j ACCEPT<- Plex Web UI
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 32469 -j ACCEPT<- Plex DLNA for other devices.wrote on Jan 24, 2023, 1:26 PM last edited by@murgero Did you copy the app package to git.cloudron.io so we can review and see if it can be made publishable?
