PLEX doesn't start after an upgrade

Server Version#: v1.18.1.1973
Player Version#: webapp latest

Hi manually upgraded PLEX on my synology NAS. It says run fine but can’t launch the UI to see my movies.

Part of the logs (replacing some parts with xxx)

Any clue on how to fix this?

Would you please recreate that then attach the full log ZIP file?

log zipped and uploaded to https://www.dropbox.com/s/z68golx3s7mocyp/Plex%20Media%20Server.zip?dl=0

I’m sorry, I should have elaborated:

  1. Open FileStation
  2. Navigate into the Plex share ( Give yourself permission in Control Panel - Shared folders if needed)
  3. Drill down last Library until you see the Logs directory
  4. Right-click -> Compress to Logs.zip
  5. Attach that ZIP file here. (The forum will let you drag, drop, and attach it directly)

ok, you don’t want 1 log but all the logs in fact, right?

Thank you for that. The reason I ask for the entire Log set is because, often, what I need is in the “.1” or “.2” rollover file.

In your case:

  1. It appears you’ve renamed the Plex share to be PLEX at some point.
  2. The installation is somehow damaged in that no plug-ins exist, specifically, they were removed after installation. The SPK, as distributed, will not iinstall if damaged.

Please download a fresh copy of the SPK,
Remove the package which is installed (your metadata is kept safe)
Restart DSM
Reinstall the new SPK

My Plex folder is nammed PLEX forever^^
ok will uninstall from DSM and reinstall

thx!

it refuses to install telling me port already used by something else :confused:
rebooting my NAS, we’ll see

Certain DiskStation models don’t clear the port utilization fast enough. This is why I tell everyone to restart DSM.

it installed and DSM tells me it runs (as before)
but http://192.168.1.36:32400/web spins forever and I don’t see Plex :frowning:

in other words, for now, no change compared to my DSM manual unistall of Plex, DSM reboot, manual Plex reinstall

According to DSM, plex keeps on reading from and writing to my disks

after patiently waiting disks to stop working like hell, seems to work now
thx!
