Please make sure to generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale before starting plex service. It's on the wiki, but it would be helpful if the package could output something like that on installation.

Or you could just make your package usable.

flaccid: Funny how some people don't know how to read, it's one of the most basic things, you should try it :) Deleted your 3 last comments, please stop spamming the comment section for no reason and consider scrolling down and/or consulting the wiki, because all of this has already been answered. Also, having a look at the package contents would be pretty self-explanatory.

No, libavutil.so.52 is provided with the package, and I already said _do not_ run plex by any other means than the provided service file.

$ /usr/bin/plexmediaserver.sh /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server: error while loading shared libraries: libavutil.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This is ffmpeg, currently on .54 so because the binary upstream is behind I guess we need a dirty symlink.

lksbhm: Somehow PMS needs access to another directory I can't pinpoint, so proposed restrictions make it crash. I modified the wiki example with looser settings which do work here. Also added /tmp to ReadWrite, you'll need it if you use transcoding. slaecker: It should work out of the box, can you try running plexmediaserver.sh directly like this: sudo -u plex plexmediaserver.sh

I upgraded from the old package plexmediaserver and moved the contents of the Application Support directory into /var/lib/plex but then the service refused to start. I then purged the plex-media-server installation and deleted /opt/plexmediaserver and /var/lib/plex and removed the user plex and its group. Afterwards I did a fresh install of plex-media-server and did a daemon-reload but the service still refuses to start. % systemctl status plexmediaserver.service ● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Sa 2014-10-18 13:15:51 CEST; 7s ago Process: 14264 ExecStart=/usr/bin/plexmediaserver.sh (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Main PID: 14264 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Okt 18 13:15:45 homeserver systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT Okt 18 13:15:45 homeserver systemd[1]: Unit plexmediaserver.service entered failed state.

I haven't done any restrictions so far as mentioned in the Wiki, only installed, daemon-reload and service start. Any hints?
