Chrome OS Flex

[tom.spinelli@gmail.com 5]

Does anyone know how i could setup my Emby Server on Chrome OS Flex? Chrome OS Flex doesn't have the play store, so i cant install the apk and i cant  get the Linux develop mode to turn on to try a deb package install. Exes also dont work on Chrome OS Flex. The OS is super fast and i only need it for Emby having issues getting it to install. Anyone know a way to install this or run it from the web as server? Thanks in advance!

Hi, how do you normally install apps on this?

You can't install apps, only chrome web apps. That's why I was hoping there was some way to get the server part going. Maybe there just isn't a way.

OK for now that sounds like it.

So I was able to install this on ChromeOS Flex. There is a way to install Linux apps. I was able to download the deb file and install it and it opens and I can add to my library and play files. If anyone is looking for a way to do this on Chrome Os Flex on a Chromebox that doesn't get updates anymore. 

My issue though now is that it looks like the IP Address that pulls from the Linux is a 100 number not a 192 number. I can't seem to connect any devices to it. My Google TV or Android phone won't see it. Is there a way to connect to it? Is that like a VM IP or something? Is there a way to do this?

That’s great progress. Please attach the Emby server log.

Hey Luke thanks for the quick reply! Sorry probably a dumb question, but will the log file have any information that i shouldn't be sharing here? I didnt want to provide IPs or something that would make the system vulnerable.

Luke,

I got it! I had to connect to the Chrome OS Flex IP Address and not the Emby IP Address it was showing. It connected that way. I am good. Emby rules!
