AutoStart Plex

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.13.8.5395
Player Version#: ?

I am using Manjaro Linux(KDE) which is Arch Linux based. When I reboot I check the status of plex using systemd, and here is the output:

Oct 11 17:59:28 xplorer4x4-manjaro systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf:11: Failed to parse mode value, ignoring: 0027    # this >

If I run “sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver.service” it restarts Plex and I can connect from my TV, connect to the WebUI, Android Player,etc. Here is the status after restarting:

How can I fix this so that when Plex starts after booting, it works without restarting plex?

Can’t help.

Arch isn’t supported. Manjaro being Arch based, isn’t supported either. Sorry.

Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat, Centos, Fedora are supported.

Probably a timing, networking issue. Is the plex meta data stored on a network share? Try to change the following setting in the systemd unit from “After=network.target” to “After=network-online.target”. That is what we use in the official packages.
