Contribute to discordianfish/docker-on-openwrt development by creating an account on GitHub. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. Hi there, did anyone port over plex to OpenWRT or is there any description on how to do this? Log in or register to post comments; Sat, - 6:51am Permalink. Here is the official download. Here is the official download channel from plex. I crosscompile kplex 1.1.1 with the last openwrt (truck version)and it's work fine The pb with the ils version of openwrt Its necessary to have the libpthrearth Library. If you crosscompile you need copy the package in openwrt/package directory It tried this and It works with unbuntu 14.04 and i dont Know if its ok with the last version of unbuntu. Dec 31, 2019 Plex local access We use Plex on the Xbox One as our media player (the Plex Media Software runs on the Mac mini), and I found that after installing OpenWRT on the router, the Plex client on the Xbox couldn’t find the server anymore despite being on the same LAN.
Based on the official DLNA standard, this service streams pictures, videos and music of a given media folder to DLNA-capable entertainment devices on the same network (e.g. modern Smart-TVs)
- The DLNA service is based on an up to date version of Minidlna (Readymedia).
- A LuCi web admin GUI package is available, to be found in the Luci “Services” menu, if installed
Device requirements:
- Device flash size: >8MB or using extroot recommended (The package and its dependencies take about 3-3.5 MB of total flash space)
- Device memory size: >=64MB RAM recommended (older OpenWrt documentations claim it may run with 32MB as well)
Possible usage limitations:
As LEDE devices usually do not have multimedia-CPUs, it may be recommended, to disable index picture creation on small scale LEDE devices, to avoid doing (J/M)PEG decoding on the device CPU. The streaming itself takes very little to no CPU-cycles on the LEDE device, as the media file decoding is not handled by DLNA on the LEDE device, but by the receiving device.

Config file location and documentation
- External link to extensive Ubuntu documentation: minidlna.conf
- More reading and useful commands: MiniDLNA Ubuntu community
Installation
- A SmartTV to access the DLNA service has to be in the same network, as SmartTVs automatically issue broadcast messages from time to time, to find DLNA data providers in the same network (if the SmartTV supports DLNA).
- The files available for streaming by this DLNA service will then be visible in the TV specific media browser / TV source selector for viewing.
- It depends on the supported media types of the SmartTV software, whether the SmartTV can decode and show the media files
