Found github link from there ask if it possible to make tutorial video

Ea8300 armv7 256 ram

you want fries with that ?

do you have 92MB free in your /tmp folder, to DL the plex package ?
plus minimum the same amount of flash space to store it on your router ?

plex_url="$(curl https://plex.tv/api/downloads/5.json | sed -E s/'"id"'/'\n\n\n"id"'/g | grep asustor | sed -E s/'\{"label"'/'\n\n\n{"label"'/g | grep "$({ [ $(uname -m) = aarch64 ] || grep </proc/kallsyms -q 'arm64'; } && echo ARMv8 || echo ARMv7)" | sed -E s/'^.*"url"\:"(.*\.apk)"\,.*$'/'\1'/)"
echo $plex_url

nor did you read the thread you cross posted in:

I using extroot and expand it to 1g is that ok?

no idea, I don't use plex.
the install script can be customized, read it.

if you have extroot, why are you playing around with mtd ?
