You LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn’t include /usr/lib/plexmediaserver

If using /bin/tcsh:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH=“${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib/plexmediaserver”

Adjust syntax to match your shell

This should probably be added into the bashrc for the docker containers.

Kindly address in the Docker forum. PMS works as distributed on Docker. User alterations are the user responsibility

Will do! Thanks. I actually saw that you’re executing PMS with the variable in the command line, so I replicated that for my manual scans.

24

The specification in the command line is because of Bash & SELinux security requirement

25

This should be written in docs that scanner is user sensitive
Still id does not adress the issue how to create the script that can be run from my user session in terminal to refresh library

26

May I direct you to the tag server-linux-tips where I show how to interact with the API.

Most of the Plex API is closed and only to be used through the GUI. This is how Engineering created it.
PMS is designed for home use, not for commercial use where scripting is common practice.

Further, When configured correctly, the addition or removal of media is detected automatically. There is no need to force a scan manually.

27

The much more elegant dangerous way to address this issue is to do the following as root:

# echo "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/plex.conf
# ldconfig

All done As was pointed out below, don’t do this…

Caveat, your flavor of Linux (mine is Ubuntu) will likely have a different directory structure for LD configuration. See: man ldconfig for the specifics for your flavor of Linux as to why this is probably a bad idea.

28

Please don’t do this. This could cause havoc as other software might start to use libraries bundled with PMS and not the normal libraries of the system. There is a reason, Plex does not just also add this configuration.

:flushed: Thank you for pointing this out. Now I know why I started running into this error stack each time I mistyped a command after making that change :anguished: :

Yeah, don’t do what I suggested…
