I have PMS running on Raspberry PI 2!

There is a Synology release which works on rPI2 without a chroot.  However it's seems to becapable of playing media that the drobo/chroot version was unable to.  If you want to try it:

See the guides here: https://forums.plex.tv/topic/145717-i-have-pms-running-on-raspberry-pi-2/?p=887965

and here: http://www.htpcguides.com/install-plex-media-server-on-raspberry-pi-2/

 

There's also a conversion guide for moving from the chroot version to the native version here:

And it was surprisingly easy!

 

I followed the bitbucket guide for installing the drobo PMS into a debootstrap chroot on raspbian.

As described here: 

https://bitbucket.org/inkubux/cubox-i/wiki/Plex%20Wheezy

 

As with the Mycloud install, I had to change LC_ALL=C in the chroot plexmediaserver script and install libexpat1 (apt-get install libexpat1) in the chroot.

 

I'm using a WD MyBook to store my media. So once I had PMS running I created media folders in the chroot and then mounted the mybook folders in the main host. So my main host /etc/fstab looks like this:

 

# Chroot bind mounts
/home            /chroots/wheezy-armel/home            none bind 0 0
/mnt             /chroots/wheezy-armel/mnt             none bind 0 0
/tmp             /chroots/wheezy-armel/tmp             none bind 0 0
/proc            /chroots/wheezy-armel/proc            proc defaults 0 0
/dev             /chroots/wheezy-armel/dev             none bind 0 0
/dev/pts         /chroots/wheezy-armel/dev/pts          none bind 0 0
/mnt/USB_HD/Video/Films /chroots/wheezy-armel/media/films       none bind 0 0
/mnt/USB_HD/Video/3D_Film       /chroots/wheezy-armel/media/3dfilms     none bin d 0 0
/mnt/USB_HD/Video/TVShows       /chroots/wheezy-armel/media/tv  none bind 0 0

Then I just add the chroot version (e.g. /media/tv) from the Plex GUI.

 
Last thing to do was to add samba so I can add/remove files from a windows host.
