Adopted and Updated. The permission "fixing" has been removed. The license forbids me to distribute binary packages, but I'll ask their legal department for an exception.

Hey @ironicbadger. You're not wrong about that being horrifically hacked. :P Whilst it may work on your machine, check out my earlier post that should work on all machines. https://gist.github.com/joshka/58c347826a8fdd212c2b There were a couple of problems with your pkgbuild: 1. it only works for 64 bit, but needs to work for all archs 2. it uses the wrong pkgver, so if you inspect the local pacman db, you would think 0.9.9 is still installed when you've actually got 0.9.10 3. The vim modeline generally needs to be within a few lines of the beginning or end of a file. The addition of md5sums at the end of file breaks this. I've found it really useful to use gist rather than pastebin, as when you fork a file the changes you make are significantly more obvious. Anyone should feel free to fork the above gist when making changes to the pkgbuild in future. It will help verify that the package has the correct changes.

here's a (hacked, horrifically) pkgbuild for the latest version http://pastebin.com/jQwajjue

@daveerickson I put a diff between the latest version of the two packages up at https://gist.github.com/joshka/84f1e7f5ecde7fed96c4 You'll see that the two packages have diverged slightly due to different maintainers and the need to download the Plex pass version of the software rather than the non PlexPass. Most of the difference are fairly minor. These changes are unlikely to be significant enough to cause you problems with an inplace update. If you're concerned though, backup your Plex folder (/opt/plexmediaserver by default) before you upgrade. From a plex to plexpass upgrade perspective, this shouldn't be any different to a plex version upgrade. If you've got any concerns about that process, your best bet is the plex forums / support instead of here as the answers will be more feature specific.

I jumped on a lifetime Plexpass membership, knowing they are going up in price here shortly. Anything to watch out for when installing the plexpass version when having previously having the non-plexpass version installed? I would like to do an inplace update if possible with the goal of not loosing all the currently setup libraries.

https://gist.github.com/joshka/58c347826a8fdd212c2b I've bumped the version to 0.9.10.1.585-f31034e I also removed the prompt for user name and password I agree with pinky about the permissions issue. My ~plex is about 4.3GB which takes a while to run through the permissions for no effect. Most of the time it's not necessary. Perhaps this was necessary in circumstances where there was a different user at play, or a user other than the plex user has modified files? When it is, perhaps providing a small script would be more useful.

Can the sign in portion of the package build be removed as well as the 'fixing permissions' portion? As of some time ago (several months?), the plex site stopped checking what is typed in for user name & password and you can literally type jibberish and it will accept it and download without issue. You may as well default it to user 'arch' pw 'linux'. It possibly doesn't even require a sign in at all anymore. As for the permissions fixer, on my system it will take upwards of 15 minutes to complete due to fragmentation/size of my library and it ultimately serves no purpose as the permissions were already correct to begin with. It should be in the wiki as a troubleshooting step as opposed to something that is ran every time you update.

@sushifrick - thanks, looks to build correctly for me on x64. @guildencrantz - are you still interested in maintaining this package? I would gladly maintain future updates for you.
