Can't claim server on Synology NAS (DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3)

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
2

Thanks for including the versions of DSM & Plex Media Server.

For claiming to work, Plex Media Server must be able to communicate with systems at plex.tv.

As a quick test of Internet connectivity, make sure the NAS is synchronized with a public NTP (time) server.

  1. Login to the NAS → Synology Control Panel → Regional Options → Time tab
  2. Select Synchronize with NTP server, pick a server from the list, and update.
  3. You should see Status: Normal.

After that, follow FAQ 31: Reset / Reclaim PMS on DSM 7 (Not Authorized - Locked Out).

It will have you uninstall, then re-install Plex Media Server. During the re-installation you will use a claim code from plex.tv/claim.

If that does not work, report back with the text of any error messages that appear.

Also include a set of Plex server log files. To manually retrieve the files:

  1. Using Synology File Station, navigate to the Plex Data Folder (/PlexMediaServer/…)
  2. Right click on the Logs directory and choose Compress to Logs.zip.
  3. Download the zip file and attach to the thread.
