@miffe: I had a lot of trouble installing this version and none at all installing the other (plex-media-server) but I suppose they have the same PKGBUILD?

@Thijxx: Plex makes new versions of plex-media-server avaliable earlier to plexpass users. But at the moment they are the same. I'll fix the description to not be the same.

What is this plexpass version? Why does it have the same description as plex-media-server?

Some things I think need to be addressed in this PKGBUILD. 1. I don't have the en_US.UTF-8 locale enabled. So setting LANG and LC_ALL to this in plexmediaserver.sh, causes plex not to start. These should probably be sourced from the environment file placed in /etc/conf.d, so that I can change them, without having to fix plexmediaserver.sh everytime I upgrade. 2. The package() method creates and sets permissions of /var/lib/plex to 421:421. As I'm upgrading, I have different uid/gid's. I have also changed the location of PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR, so I don't actually need that directory at all. I'd prefer it didn't get needlessly created and set to bogus permissions everytime I upgrade. This should probably be addressed in post_install(), and post_upgrade() should likely not call post_install(). If I've changed the permissions and groups on my system, I don't want the upgrade to go changing it back. This point is minor, and doesn't really bother me either way, but thought I would mention it as a potential issue or source of confusion. 3. The post_upgrade() doesn't run when replacing the old PMS PKGBUILD, so most people who might need to see the post_upgrade() message, are likely not to see it. Thanks for looking after and creating these PKGBUILDS!

To answer my own question: I took a backup of my library in /opt/plexmediaserver, upgraded, then restored it in the new /var/lib/plex location. Needed to fix permissions on /var/lib/plex, and all is well.

Any tips on moving to this package from the old plexmediaserver-plexpass package? I see that 'replaces' is set in the PKGBUILD, and it flags the conflict when I go to install this package, but I don't want to lose anything when I switch over.

Needs to also conflict and replace plex-media-server.

@alucryd: Sure, I'll do it tonight.

Hey, I just pushed plex-media-server in AUR and merged plexmediaserver with it. Can you mirror all my changes and upload a plex-media-server-plexpass PKGBUILD so I can merge this one into it?
