Shell commands not working

Plex Media Server

Was hoping to use CLI as per Plex Media Scanner via Command Line | Plex Support

But on linux (ubuntu):

# /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list
libc++abi: terminating with uncaught exception of type soci::soci_error: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: no such column: library_sections.content_changed_at for SQL: select library_sections.id as 'library_sections_id', library_sections.library_id as 'library_sections_library_id', library_sections.name as 'library_sections_name', library_sections.name_sort as 'library_sections_name_sort', library_sections.section_type as 'library_sections_section_type', library_sections.language as 'library_sections_language', library_sections.agent as 'library_sections_agent', library_sections.scanner as 'library_sections_scanner', library_sections.user_thumb_url as 'library_sections_user_thumb_url', library_sections.user_art_url as 'library_sections_user_art_url', library_sections.user_theme_music_url as 'library_sections_user_theme_music_url', library_sections.created_at as 'library_sections_created_at', library_sections.updated_at as 'library_sections_updated_at', library_sections.scanned_at as 'library_sections_scanned_at', library_sections.user_fields as 'library_sections_user_fields', library_sections.query_xml as 'library_sections_query_xml', library_sections.query_type as 'library_sections_query_type', library_sections.uuid as 'library_sections_uuid', library_sections.changed_at as 'library_sections_changed_at', library_sections.content_changed_at as 'library_sections_content_changed_at' from library_sections

I did export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver (which is indeed where the plex apps are)

Any ideas?

This works fine for me

sudo su - plex -c “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/lib/plexmediaserver";/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list"

you need to sub “plex” for whatever account you’re running PMS under.

He may be… current installs set up the PMS service account as a nologin account.

Try: sudo su -s /bin/bash - plex …
