Issue installing transcoding tools

[unabatedshagie]

I'm following this guide.

I'm at the part where it talks about installing transcoding tools.

Code:

cd /tmp/
mkdir libc6
cd libc6
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.19-18_armhf.deb
dpkg-deb -x libc6_2.19-18_armhf.deb ./
cp -a lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm-2.19.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver
cd /usr/lib/plexmediaserver
chmod ugo+x libm-2.19.so
unlink libm.so.6
ln -s libm-2.19.so libm.so.6

The wget command is failing with a 404. If I visit http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/ the file specified isn't there which is probably why it's 404ing.

There are a few files with a similar file name, specifically this one libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u2_armhf.deb but I obviously don't want to go installing any old random file.

Which file should I be installing?

That is the one to grab, the repository is updated from time to time so the URL can break.

Okay, I've changed the URL to point to the file you said and changed the file name that is being unpacked to the same as the one I'm downloading.

These are the commands I'm entering

Code:

cd /tmp/
mkdir libc6
cd libc6
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u2_armhf.deb
dpkg-deb -x libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u2_armhf.deb ./
cp -a lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm-2.19.so /usr/lib/plexmediaserver
cd /usr/lib/plexmediaserver
chmod ugo+x libm-2.19.so
unlink libm.so.6
ln -s libm-2.19.so libm.so.6

I can get the file downloaded into the /tmp/libc6 folder and I run the dpkg-deb command on the file downloaded.

It's the next command I'm having problems with. I assume the ./ on the dpkg-deb line unpacks the files into the same folder as the deb file?

When I run the cp command I get the following message:

cp: cannot stat `lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm-2.19.so': No such file or directory

Should that lib folder be in in the /tmp/libc6 folder?

The contents of the folder after running the dpkg command are:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi     140 Jan  2 00:59 etc
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1161040 Jan  2 01:16 libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u2_armhf.deb
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi      80 Jan  2 00:59 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 6 pi pi     120 Jan  2 00:59 usr

Are the instructions wrong or have the contents of the deb file changed because it's a different file from the one in the instructions?

i've got exactly the same problem, have you solved it already?

[Mike]

Yes the deb package has been changed/updated as has the symlink. New building your own package instructions are required for users who want the latest Plex Pass versions.

I assumed you just wanted the latest non-Plex pass version.

Yes, which url should i be using? i've tried a few but no luck. How do i know which is the right one?

[Mike]

If you are on jessie you don't actually need to install the deb package, are you on Raspbian or Minibian Jessie?

I believe the symlink may not need to be made anymore, I will try and look into this today.

i am on 3.4.108-bananian, thank you for your quick responses! This site has helped me a lot to set up my bananapi.

[Mike]

OK I have made instructions for doing this manually. Where do you download the latest Plex pass version? Is it a special URL because I can't find it.

You both tried to install using the uglymagoo repository first right?

[Mike]

I have messaged you both the instructions but you will need to find the plex pass version of the readynas build.
