We have received reports of Update 7 breaking Plex (possibly Package Center itself).
Please do not install Update 7 until we’ve had opportunity to investigate
Please join discussion here:
We have retested on a fresh installation of DSM 7.1.1 Update 7 (the base)
Older version, PMS 1.40.4, was downloaded from Synology Package Center and installed.
The same problem is observed.
This is unfortunately confirmed as DSM 7 problem.
We will craft some Task Scheduler scripting to help you in the interrim.
Those scripts will be posted here.
I’m in contact with Synology regarding this issue.
A ticket is open.
They have acknowledged the problem.
We are expecting DSM 7.1.1 Update 8 to remedy this.
Given Synology’s promptness confirming the issue, I prompt/quick fix seems likely.
Anymore word on this? My NAS auto updated to update 7 and broke everything a week ago. I’d like to move plex over to a docker container but I can’t “stop” the package on the gas. Package Center is broke and doesn’t allow me to do anything. When I SSH into the NAS and try to “sudo systemctl stop plexmediaserver” it just returns “Failed to stop plexmediaserver.service: Unit plexmediaserver.service not loaded.” Any idea how I can stop plex?
$ sudo synopkg stop PlexMediaServer
$ sudo synopkg start PlexMediaServer
Thanks to the prompt work of the SynoCommunity, who beat me to the punch,
Synology has recreated and acknowledged the problem.
They have committed to releasing a correction for this in DSM 7.1.1 Update 8.
They did not give a date on ETA but let’s hope it’s soon.
I am currently fighting this issue with 7.1.1 Update 7. I believe that I have gotten Plex to stop and uninstalled it using SSH and the sudo login. Plan is to run the patches to get to 7.2.2 Update 3 and hopefully be successful with the Plex install. I just acquired this NAS, and will be coming from running my Plex Server on a Windows machine. Please let me know if you see any landmines along my path.
Be sure to install the 7.2.2 specific version of Plex Media Server.

Just letting people know that it appears as though Synology has fixed the issue with Update 8 which is now available for my Synology NAS.
I also had the issue of the Package Centre being broken after upgrading to Update 7 initially then came across this post.
I had to install Update 8 “manually” and the problem is fixed for me.
Thanks to those that reported the issue to Synology and those that posted on this forum.
