PeterB Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm going to move the repo to a new home this week probably. Had a few issues with symlinks on my current hosting (the cause of the jdk issue). Will update you all when ready. Not wanting to pressure you, but do you have an eta yet? Link to comment
apgood Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 hi badger. i noticed that in AUR there's a new version of plexmediaserver plexpass. How do i go building a package from what's up there and the buildpkg file? do you have a guide you know of that you could point me to? Link to comment

Hi apgood see post #99 in this thread from me, it gives you a step by step on creating packages from aur. If you do manage to create the package I would urge you to upload it somewhere and pm ironic with the location so he can add it to the repo, if get stuck then pm me, good luck! Link to comment
apgood Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Sweet! Thanks for that. Know what I'll be doing this evening. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment
binhex Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 it really is pretty simple, once you got the hang of it then go take a look at packer (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/packer/) , this does it all for you but you of course need to learn how to compile packer first in order to install it as a package hehe, catch-22 you might say :-) Link to comment
apgood Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah it was pretty simple. Installed without a hitch. I did download and install packer last night. Seems there is already a prebuilt package for it but couldn't really work out how to use it to install plexpass just seemed to do the same thing as pacman based on the help, but then I might have been using the wrong options...

I'm not sure what was going on.

How can I make see the last version ?? the reason your not seeing the later version is that it hasn't been compiled and uploaded to ironicbadger's repo, keep in mind pacman will ONLY search the official arch linux repo (and any custom repo's like ironics), as plex is not in the official repo you wont get updates for it, its in aur. if you wish to update to the latest version of plex you have the following options:- 1. manually compile the package from AUR followng my instructions here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31648.msg300340#msg300340 2. install base-devel tools and then install packer or yaourt (aur helpers) to automate some of the tasks in the above link 3. wait for somebody else to compile plexmediaserver and upload it to ironicbadger's repo and then do a pacman -Syu note:- if you do install a aur helper this then gives you the ability to download updates from both the official repo and aur in a single command. i hope this helps!. binhex.

ironicbadger Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I have just attempted to install jdownloader. I was offered a choice of two java runtimes- I selected jdk7 from the unraid6repo and was presented with this error: error: failed retrieving file 'jdk7-7.51-1-x86_64.pkg.tar' from unraid6repo.ktz.me : The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found How can I resolve this? Is jre7, from the extra repo okay to use? I have had bad experiences of openjdk in the past. Secondly, I believe that tightvnc has been moved to AUR - would it be possible to have this added to the unraid6repo? This has now been fixed and updated to latest version too (at last, sorry for the delay I've been busy with Uni and I just got a puppy!!). Updated Plexpass server version to latest. Added freenet (be aware this is flagged out of date on AUR). Also updated xen to 4.4.0-3 (this is not installable in unraid, it's used for me on my own personal arch host ONLY - use only if you understand what this means). Repo still hasn't moved homes but I do intend to do it. Link to comment
ironicbadger Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 The repo is moving to it's new home and will be down for a few hours. Once done, it should be more reliable and easier for me to update. If there are any issues this evening I'd put them down to DNS propagation. Please don't report any errors for 24 hours relating to unable to download repo.db etc, file not found. Tx Link to comment
PeterB Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This has now been fixed and updated to latest version too (at last, sorry for the delay I've been busy with Uni and I just got a puppy!!). Great - thanks for that. I now have jdownloader up and running. Also, unraid6repo appears to be accessible from here, so I guess that the move and DNS propagation has been successful! Link to comment

Just use that. pacman -S plexmediaserver-plexpass Link to comment
brettm357 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 when going from plex to plex pass do I need to uninstall plex first ?? Link to comment
ironicbadger Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 when going from plex to plex pass do I need to uninstall plex first ?? Probably. I'd make a backup of your library too if you're attached to it, just in case. Link to comment
jumperalex Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 and be sure to make that backup with plex shutdown. Just in case you didn't know that already. Link to comment
brettm357 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Im still new to this i guess ill have to learn how to backup plex library first to be safe Link to comment
jumperalex Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 shut down plex us rsync to copy from your plex library ... you know, the fodlers you defined in the unraid Plex Gui under "Library" and "Temp" Then to test that it is working right, point your unraid Plex Gui to that new location and fire up plex. If it works all peachy then you know you got it right. If not, then you didn't. Like in my case I did it just last night and mucked up the directories. No biggie, I just mv'ed Library out of the /Plex/Plex nested directory I accidently created, but it was still a good test for me to see I had mucked even that up Link to comment
brettm357 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have plex installed in the archVM not in unraid gui Link to comment
ironicbadger Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have plex installed in the archVM not in unraid gui yes.... we know that. re-read the above post from jumperalex until you understand it Link to comment
jumperalex Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have plex installed in the archVM not in unraid gui yes.... we know that. re-read the above post from jumperalex until you understand it To be fair my post did indeed assume he was running it as a plugin ... which was [derrrr] silly since this is a VM thread. You can tell because I reference the unraid plex gui which doesn't exist if running plex in a VM. That said, here is what you need to know https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201539237-Backing-Up-Plex-Media-Server-Data ... I didn't see where they say to shut down the plex service but I still HIGHLY recommend it. Then to test if you backed it up correctly ... well ... I have not tried that yet but it will involve firing up plex again, going into the advanced settings and pointing plex at the backedup location. what I don't know is how it will behave when you make that change. Do you have to shutdown and restart, will it be an instant switch over? if you point it at a bad location you should see plex behave as if this is the first time you run it? Im' not sure. BUT, you now have the instructions on backing up right from Plex's mouth. Any more discussion on the matter should probably be in a Plex Forum, or in an unraid plex thread to keep this thread on topic. Link to comment
