Arch Linux User Repository

There is a missing dependency for boost (and version specific). Unfortunately archlinux uses a much newer version so this package is incompatible. /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.47.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here is the md5 for the x86_64 version, tested and working on my home server. 7aa1f4158bbea6778061796c8f65b66f

The PKGBUILD below works for installing the 0.9.6 beta (x86). The md5 under x86_64 would need to be updated for the 64 bit version # Contributor: Praekon <praekon@googlemail.com> # Contributor: Arthur <arthur.darcet@m4x.org> # Contributor: Jon Wiersma <archaur@jonw.org> # Contributor: Ray <rfischer@me.com> # Contributor: Dianoga <dianoga7@3dgo.net> pkgname=plexmediaserver pkgver=0.9.6.0.11 pkgrel=2 pkgnumber=ba33da9 pkgdesc="Plex Media Server for Linux" url="http://www.plexapp.com" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('closed') depends=('avahi' 'rsync') replace=('plex') backup=("etc/conf.d/$pkgname") install="$pkgname.install" if [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then _arch='i386' md5sums=('4442031c7faebded7e9ecd7e77053648') elif [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then _arch='amd64' md5sums=('df26c3634bdd02e38ca2fb0cfe8309d7') depends+=('lib32-libxml2' 'lib32-sqlite3' 'lib32-boost-libs' 'lib32-curl') fi source=("http://www.plexapp.com/repo/pool/main/p/${pkgname}/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-${pkgnumber}_${_arch}.deb" "$pkgname.conf.d" "$pkgname.rc.d") md5sums+=('cb0b32d853f2c8b760e62b391196a881' 'f4b9a8473551127ab3de151005600f07') build() { ar -xv ${pkgname}_${pkgver}-${pkgnumber}_${_arch}.deb || return 1 tar -zxf data.tar.gz || return 1 } package(){ mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/lib/plexmediaserver mkdir -p $pkgdir/etc/rc.d cp -r usr/lib/plexmediaserver/* $pkgdir/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/ install -D -m644 plexmediaserver.conf.d $pkgdir/etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver install -D -m755 plexmediaserver.rc.d $pkgdir/etc/rc.d/plexmediaserver }

Please use makepkg --source to create source tarballs. It's unreasonable to expect that the directory inside the tarball is named anything except the name of the package, and you'd avoid packaging the excess files included with this sourceball.

okay on 32bit machines, delete line 48 - EOF from PKGBUILD to get this package to work thanks to JonnyJD in IRC

i don't know why but yaourt complains about md5sums on x32 build. tryed several times now ona freshly installed arch without success. cleared tmp folder and redownloaded everything. the md5sums seems to match if i check them manually though... ==> Building and installing package ==> Erstelle Paket: plexmediaserver 0.9.5.3.309-2 (Sa 24.

Just noticed a couple of minor issues: In the rc.d file (around line 19): the redirect (>) should be an append (>>) so the logs don't get overwritten on each startup. Also, there some missing quotation marks in the PKGBUILD in the x86_64 pkgdeps line. Thanks.

plexmediaserver 0.9.5.3.309 got released for linux: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/38976-0953309-for-linux/

the plex server 9.5.2 worked for me. This one gives me an error when i run the start.sh file. The other plex i downloaded i just had to run rc.d start plexmediaserver this one doesnt have that daemon?
