Issues with everything plex!?!?!?!

Server Version#: DSM 6.2-23739 Update 2 DS916+
Player Version#: Latest

Ok so First thing was my Nas firmware update caused havoc with Plex…would not show a server…then when i finally get it to show I need to"claim server" and never got it claim…so with restarting the whole network and tried to claim still no bloody luck… Removed Plex and then I try and reinstall it i get the following message

Mind you that was both using the Package centre and a manual install…I am tearing my hair out…

This is getting beyond a joke for me almost considering going back to using a computer for my media station instead of the tablet/phone which i do prefer using for media

Did the rebooting and that worked…

Claiming server wise…still no luck

Have to delete plexmediaserver.pid (if it exists) and Preferences.xml everytime i want to try and Claim the server… on every attempt… when i hit claim server it does the busy symbol i wait 5-10 secs then i just stops…hit the claim server button again and nothing happens…even when it detects “first time setup” because of the file delection, it tries to claim server then and still no luck…i am attaching the logs folder to see if i am missing somthing for got something NQR… I have tried to search this on the forums but I don’t seem to have any luck…

Logs.zip (1.8 MB)

Anyways fingers crossed this gets sorted before the next DSM Screwup…sorry Update

Sorry for the long delay, got to love life getting in way.

As you can see this is a screen dump from my DSM and the plex Presences.xml

I have even upload a copy of the file in the following Zip so you can verify as well

One thing that has been bugging me… If Plex only wants a single Lan based Connection for that “claim server” re/setup why not just:

  1. unplug one of the cables for setup
  2. delete both plexmediaserver.pid (if it exists) and Preferences.xml files
    3)don’t fire up Plex
    4)ensure logged out of plex from everywhere
  3. reboot nas
    6)fire up plex and try to claim server
  4. Hope like hell this all works

OR

Does Plex not like that when you plug another cable back in and you have all this issue again?

sorry for the long time no update…

Plugged my Nighthawk back in after swapping ISP…found the server…claimed server…back up and running in about 5ish mins…

No i have not updated Plex on my NAS at least to my knowledge…So i have no idea what caused the issue in the first place but it seems my NAS and Plex love my Nighthawk… and not like the temp netgear router/switch i was using when with previous ISP
