Unable to start plexmediaplayer.service on Arch Linux

Server Version#: 1.17.0.1709-1
Player Version#:

Heya,

I ran into trouble after momentarily switching DEs on Arch Linux. Switched from KDE to GNOME and noticed that my Plex server wasn’t working. Switched back to KDE and it doesn’t work here either. The plexmediaserver.service is enabled, but won’t start. I have a log, but can’t really make much of it. I’m guessing that by switching DEs my network devices somehow changed and that is the reason for Plex not working.

I have no idea how to fix this. All help would be appreciated. I’ve tried reinstalling from AUR, tried disabling and re-enabling the .service, rebooting… nothing seems to be working.

I have a jackett.service that is not affected by the DE switch. How is it that Plex got all messed up, but other services didn’t?

In the terminal “systemctl status plexmediaserver.service” gives this:
"● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server

Edit: fixed by resetting locale. Not arch related. So thanks for no help.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do except refer you to whomever did the packaging for you.

Plex doesn’t package for Arch. We’ve never even tested on it.

From the error codes shown, the person doing the packaging didn’t take a few things into account and/or test it.
