If your Pi is running slowly or your server is having weird issues, if you’re not on a hub, this might fix your problem)
Wall-powered USB Hub (The Raspberry Pi does not have enough power to power USB storage devices on its own most of the time. Raspberry Pi B+ ( has CanaKits for around $55). While there are lots and lots of tutorials on how to set up Plex Media Server on a Raspberry Pi B+, I couldn’t find one that went through all of the steps I needed. This is both in an attempt to prolong the life of my iMac and to help my incredibly high electric bill (whoops). I don’t often yack about this kind of stuff on my blog as it’s pretty much exclusively an art blog, but I recently bought a Raspberry Pi B+ that I thought I could use as a lower powered Plex Media Server rather than having my (dying) iMac run constantly. We don’t want to go to all the trouble of running the upgrade if we’re already running the latest available version.Updated: September 9th, 2020: I had to redo all of this all over again and some steps have changed, so I’ve updated it. Installing the upgradeįor this bit, I need to have a terminal session on the pi ( I usually use SSH to remote in). There is a good tutorial here about using the freeware sftp client Filezilla to transfer files to and from a pi via sftp. I can now copy the file from my machine to the pi via SFTP.

If I happen to lose everything, re-installation and configuration would not be too onerous a task. In my case, I only really use my Pi for the plex server so the in-place upgrade does not present a huge risk. There is a big warning about in-place upgrades in the documentation This is not usually a requirement for upgrading Plex, but I thought I’d mention it here just in case.
