Fixes

Fix: Permissions

Copying the plugin into the Plug-ins folder may result in incorrect permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder, permissions can be fixed with the following steps:

1. Determine the user + group which has ownership of Plex Media Server:

   stat --format '%U:%G' "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server"

2. Update ownership of the Trakttv.bundle folder

   sudo chown -R plex:plex "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"

   (Replace plex:plex with the output from step 1)

3. Update permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder

   sudo chmod -R 770 "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"

Fix: Synology DSM CPU Type

The plugin may require the cpu_type to be manually set to marvell-pj4 if you are running Synology DSM on an ODROID device:

1. Navigate to the following directory (either via SSH, or other means):

   /volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv
   

2. Create the advanced.ini file inside this directory with the following contents:

   [libraries]
   cpu_type = marvell-pj4
   

Fix Error: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted

This error occurs when the plugin is installed on a mount point with the noexec flag set, one of the workarounds below should resolve this issue.

Workaround One

1. Create a new libraries cache directory on your system drive (can be located anywhere on the drive)

   sudo mkdir -p "/var/lib/tfp/libraries"

2. Update ownership (to the user running Plex Media Server)

   sudo chown plex:plex "/var/lib/tfp/libraries"

3. Update permissions

   sudo chmod -R 770 "/var/lib/tfp/libraries"

4. Navigate to the following directory (either via SSH, or other means):

   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv
   

5. Create the advanced.ini file inside this directory with the following contents:

   [libraries]
   cache_path = /var/lib/tfp/libraries
   

6. Restart Plex Media Server

   sudo /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver restart

Workaround Two

1. Create a new native libraries directory on your system drive (can be located anywhere on the drive)

   sudo mkdir -p "/var/lib/tfp/libraries"

2. Copy native libraries into the directory for your system:

   sudo cp -r "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle/Contents/Libraries/Linux" "/var/lib/tfp/libraries/"

3. Ensure native libraries have the "execute" permission set:

   sudo find "/var/lib/tfp/libraries" -name "*.so" -exec chmod +x {} \;

4. Navigate to the following directory (either via SSH, or other means):

   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv
   

5. Create the advanced.ini file inside this directory with the following contents:

   [libraries]
   libraries_path = /var/lib/tfp/libraries
   

6. Restart Plex Media Server

   sudo /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver restart
