What's the concrete difference with the not "plexpass" version?

@kode54 thanks that worked. overlooked that I had to enable en_US in ADDITION to my real locale ;) sorry and thanks!

@blackandcold read the pinned comment. You need to enable the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

@hmeiser2000: Yes, from the Locale wiki in the pinned post, you uncomment the en_US.UTF-8 lines and re-generate.

I updated today to version 1.22.0.4163-1. In doing so I have the same problem, the locale is not ok for Plex. When I type locale -a I get the following output:

$ locale -a
C
de_DE
de_DE@euro
en_DE.iso88591
en_DE.iso885915@euro
en_DE.utf8
german
german
POSIX

Plex only starts if I add the comments in the file /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver again:

# LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
# LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Is there a way to install additionally en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8?

@fryfrog Really the locale would/should have been configured correctly beforehand as I know it's done in all my other arch linux instances. For some reason I overlooked it for my plex server (probably because it was working and is the only AUR package on that instance). Thanks for all the work you put in on these packages and in the community.

@mixednutss: Hey, that was a great find! I actually recently uncommented the LC_ALL and LANG env vars in the conf.d file to match up better w/ their package. It fixed some crashes in the past, but they were #commented to be optional. But since their official service does it, we should too. Maybe I should add a check in the package... :|

@bazzawill I had issues after upgrade also. Error on startup was:

Mar 09 08:19:06 xxxxx systemd[1]: Started Plex Media Server.
Mar 09 08:19:06 xxxxx Plex Media Server[4187]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
Mar 09 08:19:06 xxxxx Plex Media Server[4187]:   what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

So error pointed towards a locale issue. Running locale -a showed only C and POSIX.

I then just followed the guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale to enable the en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 locale plex started successfully after this. Hope this helps you.
