Getting an error when trying to prt install on a mac

See original GitHub issue

I have been troubleshooting why the prt script can’t successfully install on a mac. I am running El Capitan with python provided by homebrew.

When I run ‘sudo prt install’ I get this error message: Error renaming original transcoder: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I’ve been going through the script, and the paths for Darwin are accurate, I tried editing the prt.py with backslashes to escape the spaces in the path: TRANSCODER_DIR = "/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/" (which made it look like) /Applications/Plex\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/

I did notice that on OSX, the Plex Transcoder is in /Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/

Not really sure what else to try, I’ve made a few changes and tried them out, but nothing changed that error message.

Experiencing the same issue on a native linux install (on RPI though!). I am getting Error renaming original transcoder: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I’m getting the same error, but I think the issue is that I’m trying to get this installed on the Plex instance running on my QNAP NAS, which stores its Plex install in a non-standard path.
