Deck wont load, now plex refusing connections, files and synology still accessible

So in trying to stop the film and TV ibraries getting displayed wrongly when chrome browsing the synology server running plex (details below) I started an optimise a DB after moving the movies to root/movies and tv shows to root/tv shows

For a while it just showed that optimise window with the GO?GET-ON-WITH-IT (whatever) button clicked on that window, now when I go back to that browser window inc rhome it says connection refused (192.168.1.3) and yes Ive tried the server ip:port/web thing Ive seen elsewhere.

I can browse and get into the DSM server page but clicking on the plex short cut on that DSM desktop results in another chrome tab opening saying that connection refused message. I can also browse through to the files using Finder-Connect-to-server (Im using a mac)

ive checked to see if the samsung TV client can get into plex but it launches plex client and shows a big red cross and the name of the plex media server (tigerdrive)

So… QUESTION: where in DSM can i see if plex is running or (probably) has keeled over and died without reason, and how can I request it relaunch wake up / get moving?

If you want logs (please dont ask unless theres no way of answering the "how to " question in my last sentence) , please tell me how to generate them (and presumably in non verbose mode) Please no tecky Linux jargon as I wont understand, sorry

And thanks

Dom

Server Version#: DS218j synology DSM 6.1.7-15284 Update 2

Player Version#:

Many thanks - I will try that.

Can I clairfy this though “Note: Your NAS is ARMv7 powered, so you need to install the Plex ARMv7 package.”

How will that help? (Not that I even know how to install that) :frowning: Will it help with the (too many) messages Im getting saying “your server isnt powerful enough to play that” messages?

Thankyou for your continuing help

Dom
