Thanks for this excellent package! Would you consider adding a firewalld configuration file, so that it easy to open up the right ports for those of us using firewalld? I have uploaded a patch here: https://gist.github.com/danieldk/d50121c5e43e4ab3661b5f5a73b67215

@doctor Adding to the comment from @carbncl, try regenerating your system locales and/or reinstalling glibc. That worked for me. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale#Generating_locales sudo pacman -S glibc

@doctor, had recently the same issue, your locale isn't set properly on your server. Look into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-media-server-plexpass comments for more details. I bet we are hosted by the same company with a bugged installer... ;p

I have problem with server starting. sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver.service ● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Sun 2017-09-24 22:21:23 +03; 6min ago Process: 22193 ExecStart=/opt/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Main PID: 22193 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) CPU: 218ms сен 24 22:21:18 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: Stopped Plex Media Server. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Start request repeated too quickly. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: Failed to start Plex Media Server. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Unit entered failed state. сен 24 22:21:23 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. ен 24 22:21:12 pc1.home systemd[1]: Started Plex Media Server. сен 24 22:21:12 pc1.home systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 22185/UID 0). сен 24 22:21:13 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT сен 24 22:21:13 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Unit entered failed state. сен 24 22:21:13 pc1.home systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. сен 24 22:21:13 pc1.home systemd-coredump[22186]: Process 22184 (Plex Media Serv) of user 993 dumped core.

@skeptikos, libbost is packaged with Plex, not the system version. It should be in the same dir as the main plex bin but for some reason it cannot find it easily. Check your plexmediaserver.conf.d to make sure it is exporting the correct lib location.

Getting following error: /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_atomic.so.1.59.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or d irectory Libboost is at 1.64 at this point.

@precrisk Sounds like a transient networking issue. Can you manually run this and have it work? wget "https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/1.8.1.4139-c789b3fbb/plexmediaserver-1.8.1.4139-c789b3fbb.x86_64.rpm"

PS. DONT WORRY, IT COULD BE A TEMPORARY ISSUE, TODAY I TRIED SECOND TIME AND IT SOLVED

@techwiz thank you too much. I have moved the media folder to '/media', I have changed the owner to 'myuser:plex' and I have changed the permission to: 'chmod -R g+w /media'. It works now.

@j1simon I have my media in a media folder in my root dir and I've created a group called media that I added both plex and myself to. That way you can give the group RW permission and both you and plex can access the files. The owner can remain you if you wish.
