Hi there,
I’m new here and just yesterday I installed omv on my westerndigital mycloud home. everything perfect apart from plex, with which I have several problems. yesterday it gave me some errors and looking on the internet I solved practically everything and finally I managed to install it, the problem now occurs after I enabled it from the webgui and then restarted the nas. the error it gives me is plexmediaserver.service: failed with result ‘signal’
in fact from the dashboard it marks me the green dot on activated and red on on running.
the full message of error is:
systemctl status plexmediaserver.service

omv version: 4.1.23-1
debian version: 9
openmediavault-plexmediaserver version 3.8.2
also for this error I tried to search online and make several tests (reset permissions etc …) but the problem remains, even uninstalling, deleting the directory and then reinstalling plex from scratch, the problem remains.
what can I do?
