On-going connection issues

Plex Media Server

No, it’s DSM provided by Synology as a download. I am not sure now how to get to the ssh command line. I am currently in the PlexMediaServer folder, ready to run DBRepair.

Ahhh I seem to have lost access to the NAS as well, I get this from Terminal:

cd /Volumes/PlexMediaServer
cd: no such file or directory: /Volumes/PlexMediaServer

I have tried the drag-and-drop Mac method of using the path to access the server, but it doesn’t always seem to work, and I get the same output as typing it in by hand. Am I missing something?

Volume1 not Volumes

I think I am back where I want to be now, later today I will try DBRepair (I have somewhat limited time on the computer atm). Does this look right? :

baward@Mac-mini ~ % ssh cinerama21@192.168.178.35 -p 15
cinerama21@192.168.178.35’s password:

Using terminal commands to modify system configs, execute external binary

cinerama21@NAS:~$

Yes it does.

I am finally running DBRepair after spending some time getting to the right folder on my NAS. Being used to a GUI, makes a command line interface a bit of a steep learning curve, even though I have now done it several times. I think I will do a course onMac Terminal…

Trumpy81 previously helpfully pointed out that it is not generally a good idea to have more than a single user in a particular account. I previously had my partner as a separate user to me, as they often watch the same TV shows, but at a much different rate (i.e. pace of watching episodes in a series). This led to many frustrating & brain-stretching weeks of attempting to solve various playback/access issues, as evidenced from this long thread. After several weeks now of ok-ish operation, today, I made the simple change of deleting the second user from my account, and hey presto, (almost) completely normal service has resumed, with no domestic difficulties resulting either :wink: Once more, many thanks to all who helped us out previously. I just wanted to flag this in case anyone else is struggling.
