The plexmediaserver.install does create a user and group. I guess if you've installed an older version there could be discrepancies. That's why I've been doing uninstalls/reinstalls (and making sure your library dir is backed up) TBD is making this thing much smarter on upgrades and such. right now I just wanted to get it fairly consistent and useable.

Reinstalling and wiping the remnants of the old install seems to do the trick.

Nope all is broken. Reinstalling.

Your install script needs to add the group "plex" as well I think. Adding the group makes it work fine for me.

I just updated and now I cant start it. Error is May 29 19:27:28 antiva start_pms[15503]: su: user plex does not exist May 29 19:27:28 antiva systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 May 29 19:27:28 antiva systemd[1]: Failed to start Plex Media Server for Linux. May 29 19:27:28 antiva systemd[1]: Unit plexmediaserver.service entered failed state. Can I just create the user? And group?

Do you mean this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository Installation is just like any other AUR package. Additional configuration is done by modifying the /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver file.

Can you maybe put up an wiki on how to install this and configure?

Doh.. thanks for the lookover.. Fixed and uploaded v13 src

Your deps are messed up: depends=('rsync avahi') Makes pacman look for the dependency 'rsync avahi'. It should be: depends=('rsync' 'avahi')

Ok.. I believe I have it working out of the box now. I added eskimod's solution (thanks!) and found another directory (${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME}/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins) that needed to be created before starting as well. Here's the steps I did to test for success. pacman -R plexmediaserver rm /etc/conf.d/plex* rm -rf /usr/local/plexmediaserver removed plex from /etc/passwd and /etc/group sudo pacman -U plexmediaserver-0.9.7.22.511-12-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
