I cant instal plex on my NAS anymore. It gives an error saying that port 32400 is used by something else, can i change the plex port befor installing?

seems to me you have Plex running while your trying to install…

yeah it seems so, but i already have deleted plex. Looks like there is something still running in the background

you may need to reboot it…

I have 2 synology NAS units… I don’t run Plex on them…

Sometimes DSM doesn’t release the port fast enough. It’s normal behavior.

Reboot DSM

ssh to you Synology as admin user . sudo root.

netstat -tupln | grep 32400 ( or whichever port its using )

sudo netstat -tupln |grep 32400
tcp6       0      0 :::32400                :::*                    LISTEN      17133/Plex Media Se

or

ps -ef | grep -i plex # to get the plex process id

ps -ef | grep plex
