A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.13.9.5456
Player Version#: ?? I didn’t get that far yet.

raspberry pi 3
raspbian 8.0 Jessie

Directly after installing I went to the web interface, it automatically goes to setup and then it gives me this error:

A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server.

I can’t access, settings, etc. When I run sudo service plexmediaserver status I see that it is running fine, however, python has ran into some errors.

pi@raspberrypi3-1:/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs $ sudo service plexmediaserver status

that’s the only error that I can see, the log files looks normal.

plex media server.log: http://termbin.com/x4ir
plex dlna server.log: http://termbin.com/ozud
plex tuner service.log: termbin/qtpr (same termbin url, new users can only post two urls)

if you want the entire log folder zipped up, I can do that.

any help would be great, thanks in advanced.

PlexLogs.zip (105.3 KB)
Uploaded entire log folder.

ran

sudo apt purge plexmediaserver*

ignored tutorials saying to do

sudo apt-get -t <Jessie or stretch> plexmediaserver-installer

and deleted all Plex related folders if still there, instead ran just

sudo apt install plexmediaserver-installer

and it works now. could be the command, could have just been a fluke with the original install. no clue. but it works now.
