PMS on Debian armhf and arm64

Official support

Plex now provides official packages. So, this project is considered EOL by me.

What's this all about?

This project can be used to generate a hacky, non-standard compliant Debian package for the armhf and arm64 architecture. It works surprisingly well and fetches the binaries of some NAS builds from the Plex Inc. server.

What do I have to do?

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Create a clean working copy, like: mkdir ../1.8.4-installer; git archive master | tar -x -C ../1.8.4-installer/
  3. Build the package: cd ..; fakeroot dpkg-deb --build 1.8.4-installer ./

How do I build a package for version X.Y.Z?

Just adapt DEBIAN/postinst to your needs: download the NAS package from plex.tv, generate the SHA256 hash with sha256sum <file>, replace the appropriate URL and HASH in DEBIAN/postinst with the new values. Then change the version in DEBIAN/control and see the above section for the package creation procedure.
