Server is Not started on RPI model B

Hi All,

I have faced with an major issue via starting Plex Server on RPI model B.
Plex server is installed according an article:


Packages were installed without any errors.

But I could not start the server:
● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server for Linux
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-01-03 11:54:26 UTC; 1min 41s ago

In this case I could not collect server logs, but I collected the trace of the start.sh script. Please see it in attach.

Packages were installed without any errors.

The RPi 1 is not supported, as there is no armv6 build of Plex. Sorry, nothing you can do.

Thanks for support.
Is it possible to build a package from the source code?

Thanks in advance

No, It’s closed source.
