If you were running DSM 7.0 → 7.2.1 before the upgrade,  
This is normal.

Go to downloads.plex.tv

You’ll notice there is a DSM 7.2.2+ package choice in the dropdown.  
Use this from now on.

(Synology changed the internal layout of packages for DSM 7.2.2. We had to adjust PMS as well)

To fix this:

1. Download the DSM 7.2.2 for your machine
2. Go to Package Center
3. Uninstall PMS – KEEP option (First radio button)
4. Now install the DSM 722 package (the file will have `dsm72` in the name.

Thank you, I did DL the 7.2.2 for my machine. The step I was missing was uninstalling PMS.

Thanks again for the quick response… on a Sunday.

No. If you select the KEEP option when uninstalling, the server data remains untouched.

Est-ce que je dois installer le DRM 7.2.2 avant de désinstaller Plex ? (je suis en 7.2.1 en ce moment )

J’ai pris une chance :

J’ai installé DSM 7.2.2  
Désinstaller PMS  
Réinstaller PMS avec package pour DSM 7.2.2+

Ca fonctionne nickel. Merci @tom80H
