@ChuckPa - I’m back, I think because it’s possible this may be part of my issue but I figured I’d report to you just in case!
Today, my plex server wasn’t showing up as online. It was active on the QNAP. I couldn’t get to it from my local IP either. Seemed random.
I stopped and started the Plex app on Qnap, but still no luck.
In my Plex Media Server.log (accessible in my share folder which is amazing!) I saw this:
ERROR - HttpServer: Error binding acceptor: Address already in use
ERROR - HttpServer: Error opening acceptor on IPv6, falling back to IPv4: Address already in use
ERROR - HttpServer: Error binding acceptor: Address already in use
ERROR - Error: Unable to set up server: listen: Address already in use (N5boost10wrapexceptINS_6system12system_errorEEE)
I found this old thread (Ubuntu 18.04 Plex Media Server: Failed to start Plex Media Server/Address already in use) and after stopping the QPKG, waiting a few seconds, I entered ps -ef | grep -i plex in SSH and it spit out:

Seems like some packages have hung here, but this is over my skill level, so reporting here in case it’s related at least. I’m going to restart the server and hopefully it clears it up though!
Thanks
