RASPBERRY Pi 5 - How to SetUp PLEX Media Server in 10 Minutes (2024)

Hi,

This video is great, but I'm running into a problem with the configuration upon reboot. I'm running this setup with three drives (independently powered and connected via a powered USB hub) and after a little bit of trial and error, I figured out how to modify the instructions given to properly format, label and mount all three drives.

But now I'm running into a problems and errors and boot loops on any reboot or restart of the raspberry pi 5. I've been trying to find a solution to the problem online, but I cannot narrow down the solution to one I can apply to your guide.

From what I have read, it seems like the issue I'm running into is related to either, (A) because of the way Raspberry Pi OS is configured, I think what I read said that PARTUUID may not 'static' for reasons related to using Pi's in a cluster, so the drives UUID may not be staying fixed after a reboot or (B) The instructions are missing code to set drive priority and/or drive timing so the Raspberry Pi knows to delay loading a boot drive until a specific drive boots which has the configured OS on it. I also read something about problems with rebooting where the OS may be writing relevant boot data to the extra mounted drives and it could be causing boot issues.

I think the problem is likely (B) and the instructions need additional code to make sure the system only boots the Micro SD card and not the other drive(s). Do you know what code would need to be added and where in order to fix the boot issue?

Hi, thanks for your video.

I read lot of articles about installing Plex on SD card and the lifespan issue with that, because SD card have writes limites. What do you think about it? Do you recommand to install Plex on a SSD/HDD or it will also ok on a SD Card Without lifespan issues and media on a SSD/HDD (like on your video pi andplex 2023) ?

Thanks
Have a good day

great video on my side, I installed Ubuntu and plex server but when I put mkv films in 4k or other it does not work I have an error "not enough power" however on the video you are watching a video in 4k? I have a pi5 4GB
