chowning the whole directory at each start is a bit problematic indeed, i think i would check if the root dir is correctely owned and if so assume that the whole library is ok.

Hmm.. I put the chown in the background, because if you have a large library it can take a while for the start_pms to start up.. Not sure if this is the best way to do it (for upgrades for example). I think it will work for now.

Great feedback! - That's the way it came from the Plex.. but you are right, I fixed the source to come before the APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR check. - Good catch! I missed it. I combined the post_install stanzas - Moved the touch+chown to the start_pms script

- Why is the conf.d file sourced after creating the APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR in the start_pms script ? - You're defining post_install() twice in the .install file, which i'm pretty sure cannot work (the first one is likely never executed) - And is touch+chown /var/log/plexmediaserver.log necessary in the post_install() ? this should probably be done in the start_pms script in case plex is ran as another user. Other than that, looks great, thanks!

PS - Of course after you makepkg/install, start it up like so sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver That will make it start on boot and start now.

Ok.. I've actually rebuild the pkg and fixed a lot of things.. It should work perfect out of the box. Be gentle with me, this is my first Archlinux pkg. Here are the changes: - Changed default path to /usr/local/plexmediaserver in all configurations - Now creates user plex and group plex postinstall - Fixed LD_LIBRARY_PATH issues people were having (it now finds things properly) - Set PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USE_SYSLOG=true as the default. - Rewrote startup script to match distribution - Changed hardcoded links to be variables You can change anything you want in /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver I have it running as user plex because I never like to have services listening on the internet as root :) Feedback welcome!

I am going to start using this exclusively when my Roku 3 gets here next Wednesday, so I'll packages it up and help maintain.

I have figured it out. I thought that $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME was in fact the home for Plex local DB. Since I had it wrong, the Plex Media Server wasn't able to start. $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME is related to the binaries directory. I put back the default value for $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME and everything is going fine by now. Local DB is located underneath the Plex user's home in var/lib/plexmediaserver Hope this will help
