Most people that are running Kodi are not using Emby. Kodi is good for local use but I don't think it has all the remote (being able to watch your movies when you are away from home) functionality that Emby has.

If you are installing omv extras, or a plugin, manually you should always run this after the dpkg -i command:

apt-get -f install

If it does not show right away then clearing your browser cache should be the next move.

Also, you can verify that a package is available for download and list the repo/s it is coming from with this command.

apt-cache policy plexmediaserver

There has to be a problem with your share. Read the link above how to make a media share.

Fix your interface line in the config file and restart the service.

Here is how to setup a good media share:

How to make a good Media share for Emby and PlexMediaServer

It works well with Plex, Emby and MiniDLNA. You do not need acl.

Why is your interface commented out in your /etc/minidlna.conf file???

#network_interface=eth0

Your config file should have the network interface set to whatever your OMV is using, there should not be #:

e.g. if your OMV is eth0
network_interface=eth0

e.g. if your OMV is using eth1
network_interface=eth1

@kentish is spot on. This "noexec" on the data drives in /etc/fstab is an issue we've seen with many things. The defaults when a data drive is added by OMV to fstab is to have it "noexec" for security purposes. If something nefarious were to get on your system this would possibly help to protect your data.

With the emby plugin I moved the files that needed to be executed to the system drive and left symlinks in the location where it resided on the data disk. Hopefully I'll get this plugin updated soon for OMV 3.x.

I'm also thinking now about Plex. There was only one guy I knew of that was porting it for the RPis. He stopped working on it over a year ago. What instructions did you use to intsall plex?

We see problems all the time when people are trying to use linux filesystem commands on non native linux filesystems. I would only recommend doing this on linux filesystems (e.g. ext4 or XFS).

@ryecoaaron

freeman says he has the plex repo enabled in OMV Extras for OMV 3.x.

???

@freeman32 There is a post above where I told Daniel how to do it manually. You can follow those instructions too.

How is the disk formatted? If it is NTFS remember that native linux filesystem commands will not work.

Did you enable the plex repo in OMV Extras? What is the dependency error??

Oh, make sure you enable the plex repo in OMV Extras. If you already tried to install and got errors enable that repo and do this in command line:

apt-get -f install

Japp....

OMV 2 uses nginx too, not apache. You can always test uninstalls, with the -s option, to see what will be removed in Debian before you actually do the unistall.

apt-get -s purge apache2

@freeman32 I would purge the community version plugin of openvpn and go with the openvpn-as version, as you will be the only person connecting.

apt-get purge openmediavault-openvpn

Then delete your browser cache and install the OpenVPN AS plugin.

Yes, you should be using ext4 or XFS, I'm still using ext4. You should only mount NTFS drives temporarily to move data to another drive that is formatted in a native linux filesystem (i.e. ext4 or XFS).

@flmaxey I get lots of pms. My box is full. I need to delete some before people can pm me again.

There are a lot of posts in the GUIDE section that are helpful.

When I got my first RPi I had an issue with the PSU. What a headache it caused. After I replaced the PSU all went well.

@freeman32 Can you give me a screenshot of your plugin settings? I have the plugin based on the community package on a machine with OMV 2 and it connects no problem using chrome to other devices. I've not tested openmediavault-openvpn on OMV 3.x. Let me see your screenshots first.

Also, are you using OMV''s firewall at all?

How many users do you need connected to the VPN? Is there a reason you are not using the OpenVPN AS plugin?

I just added a profile to my phone. I had to install the dolphin browser from the Google playstore to download the profile from user site :943. The site is no longer working with Chrome because it no longer supports java. I uninstalled the Dolphin browser after I got my profile.

@DanielP Glad you got it working !!!
