Server Version#: 1.15.1.710
I run Plex on Ubuntu, and 1.15 seems to have included an automatic update system, which is great, except it also included a systemd file which overwrote mine. For the most part, that’s fine, except that I don’t run Plex as the plex user or group. I have a different user that I use for media services, and I have permissions on all my files set up accordingly.
When Plex can’t write to directories like its logging directory, it just hangs at startup. It took me a while to figure out why that was happening when I first upgraded to 1.15 since I didn’t realize a new systemd file had been included. However, with the autoupdate feature, now I randomly run into Plex just being nonresponsive until I log in, force kill it, update the systemd file with the user/group it should be running under, and then start it back up. It’s really getting annoying.
