Plex Not Working on QNAP after power failure

Server Version#: QTS5.2.3.3006
Player Version#:PlexMediaServer-1.41.5.9522-a96edc606-x86_64

Installed on QNAP TVS872XT

My qnap lost power and shut down over night. After turning the server back on, Plex will no longer load on any client . I tried installing a new version, and there was no change. Everything else on my server seems to function just fine. I don’t know what logs are needed to troubleshoot, but I downloaded a few and attached them here.

Looks like your preferences.xml file is corrupt. its located at /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Library/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml I would stop plex, and then rename it to Preferences.xml.old and restart the server. You will need to re-invite friends to the server if you have shared it.

That worked, thank you for the quick response.

Hey for other’s having the same issue, and needing to restart Plex manually. I wrote a tutorial to help fix the issue!
