@Ploax, I don't have those dirs either and plex is happy as can be on my system. I have plex app support in /var/lib/plex/ and plex home in /opt/plexmediaserver/ Logs are (for me anyway) in /var/lib/plex/Plex Media Server/Logs/ journald might also have some more info as to why your plex service died.

Has anyone been having problems recently? This morning Plex stoped working and it seems (I don't know for sure) that the directories needed for install were not being made so I don't know if it was installed correctly. Which and where are the config files that I need to check? Because I think the env variables are not even being set. I was messing around and found MIgratePlexServerConfig.sh and found this two lines: PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/ Application Support" PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME="/usr/lib/plexmediaserver" Yet none of those two folders exist, was there a problem on my instal?

Ok, As a follow-up to my issue below I did the following: 1. Updated everything again with pacman -Syu (included an update for x265 package) 2. Setup the Locale on the system, somehow I hadn't before, but it never had a problem. 3. Restarted again. Now everything is back to working again. I don't know for sure, but I think the other day I updated and x265 may have caused the issue. Either way I wanted to leave as much detail here in case someone else has the same issue.

I just updated to the latest version and now I am unable to play videos that are mkv files on either my chromecast or on my PC in Chrome. The same files played just fine before I updated plex media server, so I know it's not the videos. The error I'm getting just says: "There was a problem playing this file." I have turned debug logging on, but not sure where to find the log files.

@gcala This fixed it for me. thanks!

@gcala, tmoore added the WorkingDirectory attribute to the systemd service. Can you do a clean build with the latest version from git and see if your problem persists?

gcala commented on 2016-07-10 16:53 (UTC)

seems that I solved with the following two commands: # install -d /var/lib/plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Codecs # chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plex can anyone confirm?

tmoore commented on 2016-07-05 23:02 (UTC)

Certainly can try it

techwiz commented on 2016-07-05 18:57 (UTC)

@tmoore, since a lot of people seem to be having lib loading issues, maybe we should add "WorkingDirectory=/opt/plexmediaserver" so that the plex bin is in the same directory as the libs it's looking for.

tmoore commented on 2016-07-05 17:51 (UTC)

@Ploax, so what happens when you run "systemctl restart plexmediaserver" ?
