Can't add any library - plugins issue ?

[antoninblanc]

I can't add any library after update to latest version. "Next" button is grey out.

Here is Plex Media Server.log It seams there are some issues with plugins, but not sure if it's normal.

I made a backup of my /var/lib/plexmediaserver/ folder and restarted plex with an empty one, but same issue I can't add any library. I tried running strace but I couldn't find where those errors reported above come from, I guess plex spawn other process? And their app packaging isn't the most straightforward, to put it kindly....

Can someone confirm latest ebuild is working ? If so I'll open a ticket on Plex support.

Thanks.

[comio]

I'm sorry but this is just a repacking and I cannot support any software bug. Try asking on https://forums.plex.tv

[antoninblanc]

@comio Thanks. I know! I'm just asking if someone can confirm plex working fine, to make sure it doesn't come from Gentoo or this ebuild. As I've mentionned [if plex is working fine] I'll open a ticket on Plex support. Thanks again.

My setup just working (v1.40.2.8395):

Do you have any dns or network issue?

[antoninblanc]

Ok.. thanks!! Network is fine.

I've been able to remove the crash above with "patching" uuid.py in their python2.7.zip Now plugins are able to start and it fixed my problem. I created an issue on their forum. It looks like an issue with their ugly python2 when bindings to system libuuid.so Their software packaging is horrible tho, I might just move to Docker.
