sudo rm "/opt/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml"

sb install plex

ssh <user>@<yourserveripaddress> -L 32400:0.0.0.0:32400 -N

Of course, replace <user> with your user name and <yourserveripaddress> with your serveripaddress - no arrows

This will just hang there without any message. That is normal.

In a browser ON THAT MACHINE, go to http://localhost:32400/web.
Log in with your Plex account.
On the "How Plex Works" page, click “GOT IT!”.
Close the "Plex Pass" pop-up if you see it.
Under "Server Setup", you will see "Great, we found a server!". Give your server a name and tick “Allow me to access my media outside my home”. Click "NEXT".
On "Organize Your Media", hit "NEXT" (you will do this later). Then hit "DONE".
At this point, you may Ctrl + c on the SSH Tunnel to close it.

Reorder the Plex agents for trhe library so that local assets are at the bottom.

Replace user and group to match yours' (see here).

sudo chown -R user:group /opt/plex/Library/Logs
sudo chmod -R g+s /opt/plex/Library/Logs

Note: If you have a separate Plex and Feeder setup, this will be done on the server where Plex is installed.
