Robr3rd, did you properly migrate your database (see the instructions in the install file)? I guess remnants of the previous installation could cause issues. Please try the following: uninstall plex-media-server, make sure /opt/plexmediaserver and /var/lib/plex are gone, if not wipe them out. This will erase your database so create a backup if you don't want to lose it, then reinstall plex-media-server and make sure /var/lib/plex belongs to plex:plex. If you already have a "plex" user and group on your system, you might want to delete them before reinstalling. Finally you can restore your backed up library in /var/lib/plex, and chown -R plex:plex the lot of it while you're at it. And for the 100th time, please _don't_ run the server manually, especially _not_ as root, use the provided service.

I am having some problems with this package. After uninstalling plexmediaserver and installing this new one I am receiving the same error as mjob did. The difference being that I already have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /opt/plexmediaserver, and have verified that the appropriate version (1.56) is present in that folder. The service will not start and the error message mentioning libbost_system.so comes from runnigng the script manually (`sudo /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server`) The raw error message: `/opt/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.56.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`

turns out it was a locale issue -- glibc fubar'ed my locale.gen on a re-install/upgrade

Plex started core dumping on me today. using coredumpctl and gdb i was able to dig out this: Core was generated by `/opt/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server'. Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted. #0 0x00007f2b4b0704b7 in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 I tried re-installing to make sure nothing was corrupt, but that didn't seem to help

duffydack: From the sound of it, you didn't read the install message upon ugrade, shame on you, please refer to it. Also, /opt/plexmediaserver should not belong to plex, the PKGBUILD sets it to root:root and it should stay like that. all: Due to a recent change in our policy, and for security reasons, the install file will no longer delete the plex UID and GID, you will have to do it manually upon uninstallation.

Finally got it to start. I had to chown -R plex the /opt/plexmediaserver folder as the update set to UID 998 (doesn't exist).. But after starting it my Library is empty. Nothing setup. I have a full backup I might try restore and hope it's all setup as was before, I really don't wanna set it all up again.

I too am having problems starting the upgrade. I have /opt/plexmediaserver folder, I have /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/plexmediaserver PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME=/opt/plexmediaserver PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/var/lib/plex PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS=6 PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_TMPDIR=/tmp TMPDIR=/tmp and I have usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service with [Unit] Description=Plex Media Server After=network.target [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver ExecStart=/opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\x20Media\x20Server Type=simple User=plex Group=plex Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 StartLimitInterval=60s StartLimitBurst=3 StandardOutput=null [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Checked the comments, I see stuff about LD_LIBRARY_PATH but that's there. Any ideas?

I added LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/plexmediaserver to plexmediaserver.conf.d and it works again.
