@SASSBS According to your sources.list you do use Debian Jessie at the moment and thus should remove this jessie.pref file 
Prepare for some updates
@uglymagoo thanks for the help, have removed the file and ran an update only 5 files 
Mhā¦ ever since i formatted my external USB HDD to ext4 Plex Media Server fails to automatically update its libraryā¦
sudo chmod -R 777 /media/usbdrive has been setā¦ still no successā¦ Strange thing is: TV-Shows are added automatically most of the timeā¦ Movies seem to fail 80% of the timeā¦ sometimes it works, most of the time it doesnātā¦ Anyone here who might have a little hint on how to troubleshoot this issue?
Hello, Iāve finally been able to get access to the forumā¦believe me this took a lot more effort than it should haveā¦but trying to get PMS on my pi 2 is 100x worse.
Iāve installed via dpkg, via apt-get but to no avail I can never even get to the plex webpage. The program never actually starts for me. So very frustrating Iāve spent countless hours trying to get this to work. Never have I ever put this uch effort into anything and failed so miserably.
This is my log every time I try to start the service via a service restart.
plexmediaserver.service - LSB: Plex Media Server
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver)
Active: active (exited) since Fri 2016-03-25 03:29:12 UTC; 5s ago
Process: 4139 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 4148 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
I canāt even get the port open, it just appears to stop as itās started. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Interesting Service Announcement from Plex Inc here:
Looks like they are trying to force people onto mega expensive hardware!
Regards
@NedtheNerd I think with the prevalence of ARMv7 processors (like the one in Banana Pi, Raspberry Pi 2) that they wonāt discontinue Plex for those processors, especially since we use the Synology package.
@moe94 if you are having issues I provide a ready-made image for users who struggle to install it. It can be found on the bottom of this page

@blindpet
Thatās actually my last resort as I use my PI to serve several different functions. If I canāt find an answer I guess I can test the PMS PI images on a different SD card.
Thank.
@moe94 you followed the checklist? You are on Jessie or have libc6 2.19 or later? Have the en_US locale? You are on a Pi 2 or later?
On Jessie, libc6 2.19, and the en_US locale. I followed the guide step by step.
I couldnāt get Method 1 running at first, I then attempted Method 2 which also didnāt work. At that point my raspbian image was corrupted. I installed a fresh image, and got method 1 to work. I followed the guide step by step. My only issue is that the process will never successfully initiate. As seen in my earlier post I keep getting an "Active"exited message in logs.
Thanks
there should be more details, are you sure the sd card is expanded? what does the plex log file say? netstat -lntp?
What happens when you try to run manually as shown in the guide (executing the start.sh script without init.d)
Is there any way to roll back to a previous version? 0.9.16.3 seems to be buggyā¦ Some people, me included, canāt play back some media filesā¦
Is anyone getting a bunch of āCannot delete directoryā errors when upgrading to a new version.
It looks like the automatically compiled .pyc files in the /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-xxxxxxx tree arenāt being deleted, and so the directories canāt be deleted.
Cheers.
@EddieA if you did something as root in the plugins folder then that could do it, try changing permissions back to the plex user for that directory
sudo chown -R plex /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources
@noreason you will quickly learn that it is generally not a good idea to update plex to avoid any new bugs. @uglymagoo has explained how to roll back to a previous version IIRC, check his post history.
@blindpet Iāve since deleted the directory, but the remaining items were owned by Plex:
ls -l /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-7be11e1/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Platforms/Shared/Libraries/pyamf/ total 80 drwxrwxr-x 2 plex plex 4096 Mar 28 14:05 adapters -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 14657 Mar 2 11:22 alias.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 31680 Mar 2 11:22 __init__.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 2281 Mar 2 11:22 python.pyc drwxrwxr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Mar 28 14:05 remoting -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 6218 Mar 2 11:22 sol.pyc drwxrwxr-x 2 plex plex 4096 Mar 28 14:05 util -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 342 Mar 2 11:22 _version.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 1723 Mar 2 11:22 versions.pyc
Interestingly, itās only on this platform I see the .pyc compiled Python files being created. They are not on my CentOS Linux server.
Also, the Plug-ins-xxxxxxx/Framework.bundle is the only directory this happen in. In all other directories under Plug-ins-xxxxxxx, the Python files are NOT compiled as they are used.
Cheers.
@uglymagoo Do you still have the previous version of pms in your repository? I look through your comment history but was unable to find a tutorial on how to roll back to a previous version. I got the āalmost nothing plays back on 09.16.3ā-issue
@noreason Old packages are cached locally in /var/cache/apt/archives and should be available there. On the other hand, I republish old packages on request. For example:
@uglymagoo Thanks! I just tested playback on my devices this morning and it looks like only iOS devices are unable to playback media files. I suspect iOS 9.3 to be the culprit for that as others here in this forum have this issue too. Plex Web (on Windows) works fine today. Yesterday evening i had issues with Plex Web on OSXā¦ So i guess i rather wait and test if Plex Web on OSX works when i get home laterā¦ Do you know if there any downsides when downgrading? Like incompatabilities or so? Thx!

I never had any problems downgrading to the previous public release. However, as I am not involved with the code and did not look into their data format, I am in no position to tell you about the safety of downgrades 
I am quite sure this topic is discussed elsewhere in the forum, but I do not have a link for you at the moment.
