Arch Linux User Repository

Here's modified version of this package that installs plexmediaserver in /usr/lib like in deb file. I also added plexmediamanager icon... http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=40087678589673287411

Run the commands manually inside of the start_pms script.. i.e. you probably need to set up your LD_LIBRARY_PATH before you fire off Plex\ Media \Server by hand. Doing it step by step should help you troubleshoot the exact step that's giving the startup issue.

hi - can't start this package. New user, installed fine. I've tried all the stopping/starting, reinstalling recommended further below. After starting the service, systemctl tells me: [root@osiris plexmediaserver]# systemctl status plexmediaserver plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server for Linux Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Thu 2013-11-21 18:24:40 NZDT; 5min ago Process: 6970 ExecStart=/opt/plexmediaserver/start_pms (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 6973 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Nov 21 18:24:40 osiris su[6971]: (to plex) root on none Nov 21 18:24:40 osiris su[6971]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user plex by (uid=0) Nov 21 18:24:40 osiris systemd[1]: Started Plex Media Server for Linux.

Added 32-bit back

yea I have the original pkgbuild, I can roll it back.. just started enjoying using updpkgsums and it didn't always put things where they should be.

Something like this maybe? Worst case scenario someone using 32-bit could post md5sum here in comment and you can just set it to skip? if [ "${CARCH}" = 'x86_64' ]; then ARCH='amd64' md5sums=('blahblah') elif [ "${CARCH}" = 'i686' ]; then ARCH='i386' md5sums=('blahblah') fi source=("http://plex.r.worldssl.net/plex-media-server/0.9.8.10.215-020456b/${name}-${pkgver}_${ARCH}.deb")

Doh.. I didn't realize anyone was using the 32-bit, and it required extra editing everytime I rebuilt the pkg for the sums. I can add it back in if you require.

Why is it 64-bit only?

@famine: You have to leave that su -c in the start_pms script because it is called by the systemd service and needs a lot of ENV vars set before running as plex user.

Sheesh.. They just released the new version.. Give me a second to update the pkg :)
