To add to Tom80H,

Synology imposed significant internal changes to DSM 7.

Those changes required we completely rewrite how Plex runs on DSM 7.

In a nutshell, the following changes were mandated by Synology.

  1. The package name changed from Plex → PlexMediaServer
  2. The username changed from plex → PlexMediaServer
  3. The installer no longer had ‘root’ (admin) privileges at any point during the installation meaning I could not do all the work I would normally do for you automatically

When finished, FAQ 27 will show you the step by step of upgrading from DSM 6 → DSM 7.
