Got it to work there was a left over directory messing it up from a plexhometheater install. However my ext4 usb drive mounts at /run/media/use/drivename and I can't get plex to see it how do I fix this?

Thanks Butcho!

Nice, thanks for the quick response Butcho.

I inherited this package last month so I'm planning a major rewrite of the code to bring it up to acceptable standards. Thanks.

@ejstacey, yes this can be done with the use of the pre_upgrade and post_upgrade functions. But I really think that this package needs some work... @Butcho, is there a reason why you choose to have so many untracked files and directories that are created by the install script? This seems rather non-ideal to even have these exist. But then uninstallation doesn't actually remove these untracked files either, which seems like even worse practice. Additionally, the plex user is added during the post_install, which makes sense, but it too is just left there after uninstallation. For everything you do in the post_install, you need to undo in the post_remove. But simply being able to undo these things does not mean that you should be making directories and needlessly copying files either.

Hi. I understand not starting plex automatically no matter what, but if you stop it during the upgrade, are you able to start it again after the upgrade? That all seems to be in the install file, so I think it can be done... Alternatively, is there a reason to stop plex first? Maybe just leave it up to the user to restart it if automatically (re)starting the process in the install file (in any situation) goes against AUR/Arch guidelines. Personally I like the stop/upgrade/start scenario. Thanks!

I encountered an issue when reinstalling with no Library, Framework.bundle is not copied over for some reason. This leads to the plug-ins not being loaded, until it's fixed by Plex (or worked around via start_pms) you'll need to copy it over manually.

You shouldn't automatically start PLEX in the .install file.

Appreciate the suggestion. I've made the requested changes. Happy new years!
