Getting an error when trying to prt install on a mac

[alexholliz]

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.

Ok, I just solved this:
I changed:
TRANSCODER_DIR = "/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/"
to:
TRANSCODER_DIR = "/Applications/Plex Media Server.app/Contents/MacOS/"

I also noticed this needed to be changed for OSX:
SETTINGS_PATH = "~/Library/Preferences/com.plexapp.plexmediaserver"
to:
SETTINGS_PATH = "~/Library/Preferences/com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.plist"

Note: I can't run a:
prt check_config
on either paths in the above comment.

The error is as follows:
Performing PRT configuration check ERROR: Couldn't open settings file - ~/Library/Preferences/com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.plist

Thank for the feedback and troubleshooting. I'll work those in changes for OS X. AS for the check_config command, that makes sense because PRT can't read plist files yet. I've created #43 to address that issue.

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.
