SOLVED: Plex Server Stopped, Won't stay running

[jaredmalik]

I had the plex amahi app running great for about a month. Last night I went to the web gui and it didn't load, looking at the settings/server page shows all servers up except for plex. When I start plex from there it immediately stops.

Not sure if there was an update to the HDA or Plex which caused this? I uninstalled the plex app, rebooted, then reinstalled, still having the same issue.

Not super familiar with Fedora, so any ideas or other info I can supply please let me know! Thanks!

Check the server status by executing the following command as root user:

Code: Select all

systemctl status amahi-plex -l

[jaredmalik]

Thanks bigfoot, it didn't like the "-1" as you can see the command worked with that removed if that's important.

Here is the output with the "-" removed.

Please rerun it with -l option. That is a lowercase L not a 1. It should wrap the text so we can see it all.

Looks like some of the details were cut off, again:

[jaredmalik]

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status amahi-plex -l
systemctl: invalid option -- 'l'
[root@localhost ~]#

Same error with the lowercase l

[bigfoot65]

Sorry, my fault wrong command option LOL Did you see my last post with questions?

[jaredmalik]

I just see the suggestion to change the 1 to an l. I extended putty it seems to show everything now.

[bigfoot65]

Crap, my post must have gotten deleted.

What I suggested was to do:

Code: Select all

systemctl start amahi-plex

Then check the status again. I also asked if your HDA has all the OS updates. Did you reboot since reinstalling the app? Not saying to reboot, just asking if you did.

Also do this command:

Code: Select all

rpm -ql amahi-plex

[jaredmalik]

Ok, ran the start then checked status again:
