Server Version#: any Player Version#: any the issue is diagnosed and a fix is proposed here: https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?p=860074#p860074 if someone could apply the patch to the official download so that things actually work as intended that would be great

I would have to agree. Use a UPS is not the solution i would expect from the plex team. There must be a code fix that will make this problem go away.

Hey All, I’ve been having the same frustrating problem on my QNAP, and the easiest way I found to “fix” the issue is by creating a script that restarts Plex after 2 minutes after starting up. I couldn’t find a solution so I thought I’d share. I have Plex installed via QNAP App Center. I have the T…

This is great. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Im not really good with terminal commands. Ive managed to do the ssh bit can you elaborate on the adding delay to plex? It seems the last command “:wq!” doesn’t actually quit. I also get an error that -ld parameter cannot be found on find locatio…

Whoops forgot to mention you need to hit ESC first. Then :wq! I edited my previous post…hope it helps and thanks for letting me know! To be clear. The autorun.sh file only really needs those two lines (sleep and the Plex restart) in it.

i am unsure why you continue to reference “database corruption” when this thread is about the fact that Plex always does not autostart after a QNAP NAS loses power.

database damage is the ONLY way I could make it NOT start after power failure. ( I have two QNAPs and either exhibits the problem described ). That having been said, I have another way of detecting power failures and starting . Would it be acceptable if I implement those changes into a test ple…

@dinkblam When PMS starts on a QNAP, the following happens: PMS is launched, and database is opened What is known as a pid file is created, that contains the process number of PMS Several sub programs are launched by PMS, that is needed for other Plex related tasks If the QNAP has a power failur…

What happened between your optimism of plex.sh detecting when a crash has occurred in March 2024 to release notes for 1.40.5.8796 stating it was fixed Plex Media Server - #634 by gbooker02 to now where the solution seems to be a UPS?
