I literally cannot access Plex for the last few hours. This is the first time i’ve ever experienced such an outage. When i land on the webpage, all i get is: ‘503 service unavailable.’

I have patch version: PlexMediaServer-1.16.1.1291-158e5b199-x86

I read something about hackers messing around with Plex servers, could this have to do with it, or is this issue just me?

That server version is _very_ old.  
What kind of device is it running on?

That version was released (only as. a beta) on or around June 2019 and was never released with general availability (1.16.3.1.1297 was)

> Plex Media Server 1.16.1.1291 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel FIXES: (DVR) Some shows without season & episode info were displaying the wrong date. (#10233) (DVR) In some cases subscriptions were not scheduled automatically after upgrade to new EPG provider. (#10215) (EPG) End of guide would not populate without a full refresh. (#10220)

There have been many changes since including 2 new EPG’s.

Are you still on your Synology DS218+?
