Actually, it would work! On all platforms, and I just tried it on the Steam Deck - there are options to download the files. In the case of Plex on the Steam Deck, a new section will be created on the left hand side with the downloads.
Just tried it on my own Steam Deck - downloaded music files from the Plex server and put it into airplane mode. It works, you just need to make sure to download the files.
First, thank you trolls, all of your hard work pushed me to find the solution myself. With that out of the way, I understand the need for this solution especially being one that travels a lot and may not have connection to the internet, and prefers the Plex front end over the buggy Kodi interface. I agonized on how to force the install in Linux for a while before the obvious answer hit me today. The install is very easy and you don't have to be too Linux savy. After doing this I was able to browse and watch local content from any media type that was mapped. (internal drive, external drive, micro SD card...and of course my main server when connected to the internet.)
Install Plex server for windows the same way you might install additional game launchers like Epic.
1)Switch to desktop mode and Download Plex media server for windows
2)add the install executable to your steam library as a "non-steam game" Games > Add a non-steam game to my library
3) Select "browse" navigate to your downloads folder, select the plex installer.exe: "PlexMediaServer-1.32.3.7089-b0a36929b-x86_64.exe", select open, then "add selected program". This will add the installer to your library.
4) Right click on the installer in your steam library and select properties. Select Compatibility menu. Check box "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility". A drop down menu will appear, select the most up-to-date version of proton. Close the properties window.
5) With the installer highlighted in your library select "Play", just as you would any other game. This will launch the installer and take you through the prompts just as it would during a windows install. Once the install is finished the Plex media server icon will show in the bottom right area of the task bar.
6) Once the install is finished you will change the installer link to point to the Plex Media Server EXE. This is a little tricky to navigate, but not impossible. You will need to do some digging in dolphin file explorer to find the correct path. Once you have the correct path copy and replace the path in the plex installer properties > shortcut > TARGET. Be sure to include the quotations around the file path for TARGET only.
Here is the example of my file path:
"/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/346347827/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Plex/Plex Media Server/"
The only difference yours should have is the string of numbers that are randomly generated, I am sure someone can elaborate or correct me, but from what I noticed when ever I do a windows install unless I specify it just creates another "instance" of windows with a new number.
While in the shortcut tab you can now rename this object to Plex Server or what have you. And you will change the START IN path to mirror the path placed in target WITHOUT the quotes and add in the executable after the final slash:
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/346347827/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Plex/Plex Media Server/Plex Media Server.exe
After these steps are completed you can close out the properties tab and your library link will be configured to launch plex media server from either mode desktop or gaming.
7) Now you need to configure your plex media server to be accessed without having to authenticate with the remote server every time you log into your client. You can google this as well b ut here are the steps in short:
- right click on the plex media server icon in the right hand corner of the desktop and select "Open Plex..." This will open a web browser with the following address: "http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/index.html#!/"
- select your user account
- select the settings icon in the top right hand corner of the browser (its a wrench)
- If you have more than one server associated with your account make sure to select the name of the server you just created from the drop down, currently located below the "Plex Web" menu and subs.
- Scroll down to Settings and select the sub menu "Network"
- Scroll down the right side of the browser until you find "List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth" with a box below.
- in the box put the following address: 127.0.0.1
(this is the loopback address of most every machine and will not change unless you go out of your way to do so, even when not connected to any network)
- select save changes
8) After you have completed the previous step you can navigate back by scrolling up ans selecting the Home icon in the top left of the browser. From here you will be able to add your local content folders if you haven't already. Using Dolphin file explorer to navigate and identify the paths first is useful.
From this point forward you will be able to launch you plex media server from either gaming mode or desktop mode. In gaming mode once you see the steam spinning logo appear you can now navigate back to your library and launch the plex client and enjoy.
To install and use the Plex client in both modes follow steps 1-6, but with the Plex client installer.
I hope this helps someone out there struggling with this. Enjoy your content.
Its working for the first install. You can really use it as a Plex server. But the moment you restart your steam deck, every data is lost. When you run the new updated executable its not even opening the Plex page. I'm just seeing the "unable to connect" page in 127.0.0.1:32400 (on steam deck)
So every time you want to use steam deck as plex server with this method, you have to do all process again, which is not practical of course
worrying about power cost of a small server lol.
channels DVR is better, anyway
Being that it's been a few years, I'm sure the original poster has long since made the decision.
Although an update on my own Plex server since this thread started: I've since moved to a dedicated machine I built myself. The Shield TV was unreliable, some features were too much for it to handle, and the Android based OS kept breaking things with updates.
