First off, Thank you alucryd for maintaining this. That must be stated first, because without your effort, we wouldn't enjoy this. Second, I'm having a seemingly similar problem that vaski was having, but am having no luck solving it even after trying your advice. My console log is here: http://pastebin.com/FusezxGk I tried your recommendations to vaski, however when I execute this line: # /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server My console simply hangs on the return on that, no information shows up in the console. Is there a log file I should be watching for information? I know it's not the exact same problem that vaski was having, since my / and /var have plenty of free space.

@alucryd: Thanks for the answer, maybe I need to rethink my partitioning schema and move /var from /. Should the instructions that you gave me not be on the wiki as part of troubleshooting? Thous are good and detailed instructions :) Thanks again for the help and thanks for the package.

vaski: Yup, depends on how big your library is, the application directory can be several gigs large.

@alucryd Thanks, with this I saw that there were no space left on /var. I deleted some pacman cache and now plexserver is running. But is it normal that /var/lib/plex/Plex Media Server/Media/ takes 3.5G of space?

vaski: Try launching it manually, you should get more useful output. Unfortunately, su -c and environment variables don't play well (particularly LD_LIBRARY_PATH for security reasons), so you need to log in as plex and run it from there. For that you need to change its shell: # sudo chsh -s /usr/bin/bash plex # sudo su plex From there load the required environment variables and start pms: # source /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/plexmediaserver # /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server Hopefully it will tell you what's wrong. Once you're done, don't forget to revert plex' shell: # sudo chsh -s /usr/bin/nologin plex Also, please an external pastebin service for error logs instead of pasting them here.

The server wont start and i don't know what is wrong. It was working yesterday. Can someone point me in the right direction? systemctl status does not help that mutch. systemctl status plexmediaserver ● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Wed 2014-12-03 22:35:13 GMT; 19min ago Process: 8601 ExecStart=/usr/bin/plexmediaserver.sh (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 8601 (code=exited, status=255) Dec 03 22:35:13 madmen systemd[1]: plexmediaserver.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

Thanks alucryd

jl4c: There are a multitude of choices as to how to deal with permissions, really. Either make your home 755 (really poor choice), store your files elsewhere as recommended in the wiki, make a symlink where the plex user can read, or run plex as your user and point the application directory somewhere in your home, or run it with a custom unit via systemctl --user again with application directory in your home.

Yes tmoore, Plex cant read folders inside my home partition. I know this is a permissions issue but am a little lost here.
