Arch Linux User Repository

Hey, I'm the maintainer of plex-home-theater in [community], now that I'll be switching to an arch server, I've been working on bringing plex-media-server up to speed. I'm waiting for an answer as to whether it is possible to redistribute binary packages from Plex (https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/124588-plex-legal-terms-regarding-pms-redistribution/), in which case I would include it in [community] or in my own repo. In the meantime I'd like to maintain this AUR package, and rename it to plex-media-server. I've corrected and improved the current scripts, you can find my changes here: https://github.com/alucryd/aur-alucryd/tree/master/personal/plex-media-server

Updated for new download URL

so, for some reason, the 64bt .deb is not available. trying to download it directly just redirects to the download page. http://i.imgur.com/vc8j8CO.png

hiyas, i fix plexmediaserver apply chown -R root:root /opt/plexmediaserver sudo patchelf --set-rpath /opt/plexmediaserver:/usr/lib Plex\ Media\ Server sudo patchelf --set-rpath /opt/plexmediaserver:/usr/lib Plex\ DLNA\ Server and change /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=plex to PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=root and systemctl start plexmediaserver Bye

FYI - I'm back to using this again if you need me to maintain again.

I had to change the start_pms to get the correct running of plexmediaserver. Why I had to change that?? Because I changed some variables on /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver or set symbolic link on Library to another disk. Please consider to use this patch. --- start_pms 2014-08-24 08:56:40.031310362 -0300 +++ /opt/plexmediaserver/start_pms 2014-08-24 08:45:51.081324843 -0300 @@ -10,32 +10,28 @@ test -f /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver && . /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver -#if [ -d "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" ] -#then -# chown -R ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER} "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" -# if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] -# then -# echo "WARNING COULDN'T CHOWN $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR files to ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}, MAKE SURE I HAVE PERMISSON TO DO THAT!" -# exit 1 -# fi -#fi - - if [ ! -d "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" ] then mkdir -p "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" - chown -R ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER} "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" + chown -RH ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}: "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] then echo "WARNING COULDN'T CREATE $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR, MAKE SURE I HAVE PERMISSON TO DO THAT!" exit 1 fi +else + chown -RH ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}: "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR" + if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] + then + echo "WARNING COULDN'T CHOWN $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR files to ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}, MAKE SURE I HAVE PERMISSON TO DO THAT!" + exit 1 + fi fi if [ ! -d "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Platforms/Linux/i386/Frameworks/" ] then - mkdir -p "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Platforms/Linux/i386/Frameworks/" - chown -R ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER} "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Platforms/Linux/i386/Frameworks/" + cp -a "${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME}/Resources/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/" "${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR}/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins" + chown -RH ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}: "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/" if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] then echo "WARNING COULDN'T CREATE $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Platforms/Linux/i386/Frameworks, MAKE SURE I HAVE PERMISSON TO DO THAT!" @@ -46,7 +42,7 @@ if [ ! -d "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Logs" ] then mkdir -p "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Logs" - chown -R ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER} "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Logs" + chown -RH ${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER}: "$PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Logs" if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] then echo "WARNING COULDN'T CREATE $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR/Plex Media Server/Logs, MAKE SURE I HAVE PERMISSON TO DO THAT!" @@ -54,7 +50,6 @@ fi fi - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME}" export TMPDIR="${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_TMPDIR}"

@hexbit - sudo usermod -s /bin/bash plex This seems to have fixed my nologin issue

plex user had this passwd entry after install today "plex:x:421:421:Plex user:/var/lib/plex:/sbin/nologin" Should have been changed by post_install() not sure where it failed.
