Yum localinstall does not work even with manual download

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#: plexmediaserver-1.14.1.5488-cc260c476.i386
OS: CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

had a ticket open, because the localinstall with the suggested version (from the server itself) did not work. I was suggested to do a manual download.

Did that. Still does not work.
(the homepage suggest only for CentOS 7 ? Is 6 not supported anymore ?)

yum localinstall plexmediaserver-1.15.3.876-ad6e39743.i686.rpm

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

I need more information please.

Console output ?

I am working on proper SYSV init to replace the previously poorly-written implementations for Ubuntu, Centos, and others.

glibc 2.14.1 is the minimum version. I do not believe Centos 6 glibc meets the minimum version requirement.

There is no console output with yum. Its just, that yum first says, that its ā€œmarkingā€ the new version as an update and then simply does nothing.

CentOS 6 has glibc 2.12-1.212, so it looks like your not supporting CentOS 6 anymore. That is tough, have no idea how to transport all needed plexfiles and media from the NAS-server to a new machine. And before I do this, I rather stick with the old plex version. I use it only inhouse and plex is now the third media solution (during the last 8 year), that stopped working working after only a couple of years.

Sorry, but is very enoying to reorganize a whole archive every few years, because companies tend to forget about old customers, because of useless featurism developents and rather develop fancy smartphone and console stuff instead of even getting the basics right (e.g. plex is still not handling itunes playlists right, had to write my own little perl script to get it going). Or how can the server suggest a new version that is incompatible ? Thats poor basics.

BTW: CentOS 6 EOL is November 30, 2020, not month ago.

And: somebody closed my last thread, because he did not want to explain the problem again.

Whats about fixing the problem ?

Lets say: it will display ā€œyou OS is not supported any longerā€, instead of ā€œthere is a new versionā€ ?

Or creating a version compatible with a still support OS ?

Iā€™m in the same boat. I cannot upgrade the server, it gets ā€˜markedā€™, but thats it. Centos 6 as well.
It gets better though. My Android app updated, and now I get serious pauses in ANY playback, video or audio through the android app. There is nothing in the log files.
I donā€™t know about the windows app, I havenā€™t used that for at least 2 years, because that is unstable as hell, I gave up trying it.
I am not about to update my ios to centos 7 at this time.
My wife, who just started using Plex is asking me what is wrong.
I am about to try Emby and see what that is about. Iā€™ve been hearing good things about it.

As stated throughout the forum, especially in the PMS 1.15.0 beta and subsequent threads.

glibc 2.14.1 is now the required minimum. This is not a super-current version by any way:

|2.14|June 2011
|2.15|March 2012||Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10|

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_C_Library

Ubuntu 12 is not supported. As of April 30, 2019, Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS is officially EOL by Canonical.

Supplemental: iOS is the player environment, Centos is the server.
