With arch plexmediaserver have a bug, task Plex DLNA server in idle one cpu as at 100%

plex package updated.

Plexmediaserver 0.9.9.7 was released to everyone! I have installed it just fine on my 64-bit rig. Here is the top of the PKGBUILD file for change. 8 pkgname=plexmediaserver 9 pkgver=0.9.9.7.429 10 pkgrel=1 11 _subver=f80a8d6 12 pkgdesc="Plex Media Server for Linux" 13 url='https://plex.tv/' 14 arch=('i686' 'x86_64') 15 license=('closed') 16 depends=('rsync' 'avahi') 17 conflicts=('plexmediaserver-plexpass') 18 backup=('etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver') 19 install='plexmediaserver.install' 20 21 if [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then 22 _arch='i386' 23 md5sums=('d4e9d2c494023de1f0994f4934d0c4fd') 24 elif [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then 25 _arch='amd64' 26 md5sums=('549121339567b55b20cb6fda1968a518') 27 fi md5sums have also been changed to reflect the 32-bit package, though I don't have the hardware to test it. USE AT OWN RISK!

This may be configured by UPNP. Internal to your network, just permit whatever's listening. Most importantly, I think, is 32400.

If its just on the local network you could just allow all incoming connection for only machines on your local network (not as secure but better than just flat out opening all incoming trafic), or alternatively use wire-shark to find out all ports plex tries to communicate on and set rules to allow each of those ports which might take a bit more time and effort. once you find out with wire-shark what ports need to be open you can even go further by only allowing specific ips on you network to access it. Really depends on how strict you want to be. If you make sure every system on your wifi doesn't blindly allow incoming connection the first option should be fine for most people.

Anybody know how to set the firewall rules so that one can connect to the plex meadia server. I'm using ufw and I've tried to open the ports as suggested in the plex wiki but the only rule that works is allow all incoming connections.

Sorry for being lazy and asking just been really busy. Think you for encouraging me to figure it out by not responding though :D. I got it working the drive didn't have a uuid as it was created with a lable back when I was new to Linux just had to add a uuid, used gparted and added to fstab the permissions where already correct from when I used it on ubuntu.
