Freenas 11.2 Jail 9.3, updating from 1.14 to 1.16, via PMS_Updater.sh, PMS does not start

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

I have been running 1.14.1.5488, and after attempting to update to 1.16.1.1246 PMS would not start.
I found a “fix” to update rc.d/plexmediaserver, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=“${SCRIPTPATH}/lib”
But this did not allow the service to start.

Below is the contents of rc.d/plexmediaserver
as well as the verbose of the service start command.

Please let me know what other information is needed.
Thank you

The rc.d scripted does seem outdated which expected since you seem to be running a 9.3 Jail (as you state in the title)

The minimum supported version for FreeBSD is 11.2 however (See the FreeBSD requirements here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200375666-plex-media-server-requirements/)

Some users reported it still worked (and by that I mean started, unsure about full functionality) on 11.1, but that is no longer the case and the minimum supported version is 11.2, more info here Server doesn't restart after 1.15.6.1079 update

so it sounds like the jail itself has to be 11.2, correct? and legacy ie 9.3 is not useable.

Thank you

FreeBSD

Plex Media Server releases are available for FreeBSD 11.2 or newer.
