So, my HDA updated last night, and it replaced my release from Plex with the amahi-plex-0.1.3-1.x86_64 package from the Amahi repo. Now, my PMS won't start today.

Complete!

So far, what I've gather is that it changed my permissions on my HDA for /var/lib/plexmediaserver/ from plex:users to apache:users. Restarted my application, and now I am not able to access my from anywhere in my house. Good times.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Update:
Found the service that would start plex. It's amahi-plex.service. I'm trying now to figure out how to start it without errors. It won't start on boot now. But, that's correctable.

I'll update when I know more.

Hopefully, my database is intact.

Database is intact.

I ran the following to correct the problem:
Changed the users of my database, from plex:users to apache:users. It was half done. Most people will NOT have to do this.

Code: Select all

sudo chown apache:users /var/lib/plexmediaserver/

Allowed the amahi-plex.service to start on boot:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable amahi-plex

Started the service:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start amahi-plex

Get the status of the service.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status amahi-plex

All is good in the hood!

Thanks for the information cdcrawford, that worked for me. My question is why did Amahi replace the release from Plex, when I didn't buy the PMS app from Amahi? Should that behavior even be allowed?

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 3:47 pm**

Thanks for the report. I have filed a bug so we can fix the RPM.
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1302#change-3548

When we release the Plex Media Server app, it will be using amahi-plex so all the issues with dependencies and DLNA will be resolved.

Recommend that users stick with amahi-plex vs the plex RPM or things will break again.

This is stating a real problem since now i cannot install the newest version of plex which is way far ahead of what is supplied by amahi .

you used to be able to just load the rpm and update it but now it is obsoleted by the amahi supplied version

not good

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2014 4:47 pm**

Please add this concern to the bug I mentioned in the previous post.

I presume you can uninstall the Amahi app and install it manually, correct? Of course you may need to exclude amahi-plex in the yum config file.

This happened to me as well today. My plexpass version is being overruled "due to obsoletes from installed amahi-plex." How would i exclude amahi-plex in the yum config?

Posted: **Mon Feb 17, 2014 12:29 pm**

Edit /etc/yum.conf and add the following at the bottom :

Code: Select all

exclude=amahi-plex

When you run yum update, it should now ignore it.
