DummyPMS mapping on windows

Quit PMS
start -> regedit.exe (search or use cmd)
navigate to and delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server
(leave regedit open)
start pms
map user to port 32402
store username=>machineid combo (http://localhost:32400/ or use the registry key ProcessedMachineIdentifier)
export (save) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server as usernamePrefs.reg
repeat

DummyPMS mapping on linux

stop plexmediaserver
delete /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Preferences.xml
start plexmediaserver
(via localhost or prefs hack) map user to port 32402
store username=>machineid combo (http://localhost:32400/ or use the new Preferences.xml)
backup the Preferences.xml as username.Preferences.xml
repeat

This is necessary because in order for RTT to properly ghost content it needs a username=>machineID combo to swap in some output calls. Thats the key to making it look like the end-user "owns" the server.
The machineid has to be that of the DummyPMS being ghosted
