Plex Media Server - Synology DSM 7 Preview - Issues ( Archive )

Please go check the Plex shared folder.

We’re looking to confirm you have a full, valid, “Plex Media Server” directory under “Library / Application Support”

It must contain

  1. Preferences.xml – likely last accessed/modified on the day you upgraded.
  2. Media – with a bunch of files there (separated by type)
  3. Metadata – siimilar to Media
    3.“Plug-in Support/Databases” - which contains your databases and their backups

If all that exists, we’re in good shape

  1. Stop Plex

  2. Uninstall + ERASE the DSM 7 package

  3. It will take a bit but not more than a few extra seconds.

  4. Next, please read here and see the changes I’ve made in the new packaging.

  5. Please also be advised - This version is not backward compatible with Production. You can’t go backwards – HOWEVER, Production will be updating to his very shortly so you won’t be “Stuck on this version” for long

  1. Download the appropriate SPK for your Syno

  2. Manual Install it.
