Downloaded latest Plex version 4.123.2 and when i open Plex all i get this <Response code="503" title="Maintenance" status="Plex Media Server is currently running startup maintenance tasks."/> [mod-edit: tagged the code snippet for better visibility]

Here you go… [image] Just updated to PlexMediaServer-1.40.0.7998-c29d4c0c8-aarch64 NAS & Devices As per the actual message… you get to see this while the server is processing the update. In this particular case, the upgrade to PMS 1.40.0 contains a significant amount of up…

Me too. I recently upgraded to Synology’s DSM7 and installed a new download of Plex, which has been anything but clear. Does this message "() mean “it’s working torebuild your libraries etc and will eventually finish” or "tough luck, it’s just stuck in a rut and won’t be back"£?

[image] andrewbarr05: Plex Media Server is currently running startup maintenance tasks Means just that, Its running some database upgrades/tasks and needs some time to finish the process. On most systems it should resolve itself in less than 30 minutes.

So, not two or three days, then?

Most likely not, unless your drives are nearly full and/or your media collection is insanely extensive. I recommend Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and How-To's - #14 by ChuckPa GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases

Thank you Otto. I will just leave my PC/NAS to talk for a few more hours. I’m afraid I find it beyond annoying that Synology/Plex talk to each other so poorly. What is the point of complex upgrade/installation processes that don’t tackle the whole job?
