I just installed Plex on my raspberry pi. I have been trying to access it through the web browser. using this address http://192.168.1.21:32400/web
. The IP address being the address of my rasp pi. I am using the latest Jessie distro. I tried several thing with no luck
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service plexmediaserver start
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service plexmediaserver status

I tried to see if the plex is using the port.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo netstat -lntp | grep -i plex
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
netstat returned nothing. I assume that plex is not using any ports.
I also tried this from my research online:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo bash /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/start.sh
bash: /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/start.sh: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
Not sure what that means or how to fix it.
I am not a linux guru. I am a super novice user so I am not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions on how to get the Plex service to use the port? Or how to get it to work right?
