I tried to find out why plex isn't starting anymore and nothing was in the logs. After starting it by hand following was printed: /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 Ideas how to fix that?

Hahaha.. So... I did exactly that and many other things over about 2 hours last night. and the first thing I do this morning is rm -rf ~plex/* and now the service works fine. Magic! Thanks

justin8: Hmm, it's working fine on both an existing and a fresh install here. Can you clear /var/lib/plex/Plex Media Server/Logs, start the service and see if anything pops up in there?

I just tried the changes you made to the launcher on a new machine, and the service fails to start. If I export all the stuff in the conf.d it runs from the terminal fine, but the service shows no real output. Just that it entered a failed state.

Ahh, that's a bit of a pain. Thanks for the quick response though.

justin8: The launcher script shouldn't be run directly, so I removed it altogether by moving LD_LIBRARY_PATH and TMPDIR in the conf.d file. The reason why I put them in a launcher script in the first place is because LD_LIBRARY_PATH must always be the PMS home, and TMPDIR the PMS tmpdir. It seems I can't use shell variables in the conf.d file so I must specify the full path, which could potentially be modified by whimsical users and no longer match the home/tmpdir. tl;dr Now the only way to launch PMS is with the systemd unit. stelleg: Unfortunately source_arm is unsupported, so I won't add it until it is (plus I have no way to test). BTW ALARM already has a PKGBUILD for PMS, using the Synology ARMv5 SPK.

I've added support for arm architecture. Tested and working on goflex home. Wouldn't really recommend running on a goflex, 128MB not really cutting it. https://github.com/stelleg/plex-media-server-arm

/etc/conf.d is for text-based config files. ususally environment files in systemd now. Definitely no binaries in there. A clean install uses the included 'plexmediaserver.conf.d' in /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver. and it has: PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME=/opt/plexmediaserver which is called in the plexmediaserver.sh. @alucryd perhaps the plexmediaserver.sh file should source the conf.d file itself, or use some sort of default values so that running it directly will work. I get the feeling this is what might be getting people confused since it will not have a correct path. Maybe just replace export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME}" with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME:-/opt/plexmediaserver}"

@alucryd 'No, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already set in the launcher script and I'm pretty sure PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't even exist' Thanks for the lead! The AUR script installs the binaries in /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver the launcher script sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the plex home directory, if you do a clean install, this script set the plex home directory to /var/lib/plex thus incorrect LD_LIBRARY_PATH Anyways, 'PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_LD_LIBRARY_PATH' does still work but you could probably set the path in the launcher script

@alucryd thanks, that is exactly what I was trying to say. By the way, thanks for maintaining this, it's been really solid the entire time I've used it.
