unable to download Plex server through the yaourt -S command

Hi,
I want to install the plex-media-server packages by running the command

yaourt -S plex-media-server --noconfirm

The download of PMS begins but stops after downloading a certain pourcetage and returning this :

 -> Downloading plexmediaserver-0.9.12.3.1173-937aac3.x86_64.rpm...

The whole output of the command above is

$ yaourt -S plex-media-server --noconfirm

Just to note, it appears that casting to a Chromecast or similar device won't work if you use SSL. :/

For the latest version (you can swap these into the PKGBUILD for the old lines ... or even just append these):

pkgver=0.9.12.4.1192
_pkgsum=9a47d21
md5sums=('ce68337bf5cdfb8b2183cc1180382d11'
'34268b981e3b8c833a0e2270429232a6'
'bd703bc750b989a27edd590eb8c8e9d7')
md5sums_i686=('b10dc378e66cd8cff5cbfdf6ad0ae540')
md5sums_x86_64=('0426a8a700dd38887c978beca6e45580')

If you are following IsaacG's instructions, paste it before the SHA256 lines in PKGBUILD and make sure to comment out the SHA256 variables for the builder to use md5 hash checks (the build will fail otherwise).

Is the PKGBUILD going to be updated eventually?

No it's not, AUR3 is dead, long live AUR4.

Looks like the server aborts the file transfer after a certain time. Have you tried downloading that file manually to see whether the same happens?

"manually" meaning ? from the official website ?

Yaourt does not understand aur4 yet. The old aur is going out of commission and the package there is out of date. got to aur4.archlinux.org, download the AUR package, extract it and build it according to the AUR wiki article.

This is the first thing you should do, when yaourt fails: build the package yourself. You should generally refrain from using AUR helpers, as long as you don't understand what they do and how.

FTFY. But otherwise, I second everything above.
