So far, the main issue I’ve found is the architecture one. This should then install and start the media server. Sudo apt - get install binutils : armhf plexmediaserver - installer - y # Install the media server and all the dependencies # Make sure that we install the correct version of the arm packageĮcho "deb jessie main" | sudo tee / etc / apt / sources. I followed the instructions at however, when it talks about adding the debian package repository, you need to do a few things slightly differently via the following commands: # Run add the ARMHF architecture to the Debian Packages that can be installed here Once you’ve booted the Pine64 successfully, we can proceed with the installation of the Plex Media Server. You’ll need to grow this using gparted or a similar tool before you boot, otherwise Plex will fail because it runs out of disk space. One thing I did notice is that the initial root partition is only 3.5G in size. If you don’t know how to do this, then the Raspberry Pi Foundation have a good guide at for Mac, Windows and Linux. The first thing to be aware of is that this is an “arm64” architecture, and therefore we seem to need to jump through a few hoops before we can use the “normal” raspbian install mode and repos.ĭownload the longsleep Debian 8 image from and burn it to an SD card. The Pine64 uses 64-bit architecture and is a quad-core Cortex A8 processor, so should pack a reasonable punch as a Plex Media Server compared with existing Raspberry Pi’s, so let’s give it a go and see what we find! If you’ve already read my posts on WiFi Lightbulbs and Multi-room Audio, you’ll know how much I love OpenHAB for Home Automation, and Plex Media Server links in nicely with all of the above using the OpenHAB Plex binding. I recently received a Pine64 through the post and thought I’d write up how I got Plex Media Server running on it.
