New ARM Plugins

In Part 4 I mentioned 2 plugins that I'd love to see on ARM mainly Sonarr, HTPC Manager and Mylar

For Sonarr the guide here works with the precompiled mono package.

For HTPC Manager the main git is not responding to pull requests, having a custom git would be ideal because Hellowlol has SickRage and Sonarr support and is working on Mylar. This guide works on arm as well.

Mylar as a plugin should be easy since it's pure python and doesn't require anything fancing, this guide works without upstart, the init.d scripts can be recycled - guide here.

Plex arm7 package is in progress and working https://forums.plex.tv/index.p…-pi-2/page-18#entry887965

The init.d scripts and everything can be found here

Let me know what else I can do to make this easier

That mono package works on both the Pi B+, Pi 2 and Banana Pi (and other arm7 variants). I think if you include it anyway and warn about the security risk then it should be ok, if it's in the testing repo it implies things aren't completely 'done', right? A similar approach is used with Synology unofficial repo, they are still using mono 3.60 but it is under the beta version/testing area.

I am happy to recompile major versions of mono as the sonarr devs recommend, 3.10 is what they recommend currently.

Looking forward to Plex being in there

How about Mylar?

I am more than happy to test, looking forward to the dynamic dns plugins (hoping for afraid dns for which I already have a guide for that, it's just a cronjob).

I don't know if I have time to delve into the plugin development cause I am busy with other projects but if it's as easy as just replacing some git hub codes and startup script syntax it shouldn't be too much effort.

As soon as the plex arm7 package is tested more, I will add armhf to the plex repo and put the package in our repo (seems like uglymagoo is ok with that)

If you add the plex package for testing/experimental I can give feedback on that too. Just ping me when there are changes and I'll test on Pi 2 and Banana Pi.

That reminds me about unrar package that sabnzbd and nzbget need, the script fails on arm6 because the unrar is not in non-free, for the Pi 2 and Banana Pi it works because the official debian repo has them. It may be easier to build from source quickly, alternatively I have packages for each platform arm6: http://sourceforge.net/project…ar_5.2.6-1.arm6_armhf.deb and arm7 http://sourceforge.net/project…s/unrar_5.2.6-1_armhf.deb arm7

Building from source doesn't take long and will avoid any cross platform issues but does require build-essential
wget rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-5.2.6.tar.gz
tar -xvf unrarsrc-5.2.6.tar.gz
cd unrarsrc-5.2.6
sudo make -f makefile
sudo install -v -m755 unrar /usr/bin

Plex working beautifully on Banana Pi, thank you so much! Will test Pi 2 next.

Ping when there is more to test like Sonarr, Mylar etc

I believe unrar-nonfree is always preferable, I just installed nzbget and unrar is showing 5.2.1

Testing removing Plex gives me these errors:

Yea I figured that, why isn't the process being successfully killed?

OK, it's not too much of an issue, when I do it manually with dpkg -r plexmediaserver it kills the process successfully and uninstalls on the same Minibian based system.

Another thing, I have prepared an image using Minibian with OMV for the Pi 2, during the manual install process some weird apache2apache2 (yes twice) was showing and preventing nginx from loading so the apache2 service had to be disabled. I have documented it in this guide in case there is something on the repo's end that needs adjustment.

The OMV image I have created is half the size, I assumed the image here was based on the official Raspbian which is bloated and therefore I started a new one bloat free. Admittedly I should have tested it and not judged by its size. Is there just a lot of free empty space on the image hosted here?

That's good news,I will add that information to the post.

What script did you use to build the minimal debian, I'm looking for one that is reliable and creates trimmed img files, seems elusive.

Had found that one, will give it a go. btw noticing some issues with owncloud not having persmissions (despite me setting them in users), do you want me to post issues I find on git or in the forum?

How far are we with mono working and sonarr?
