QNAP: PMS not reachable after update to 1.5.0 plex pass beta

Server Version#:1.5.0.647
Player Version#:—

Please help… I have two PMS in total (one Windows, two QNAP servers).
PMS on both QNAP servers no longer reachable after update to latest beta. PLEASE HELP.

I tried:

  • restart of PMS
  • stop PMS (from App Center), start PMS from (App Center)

Plex Web is NOT AVAILABLE

192.168.xx.yy:32400/web is not reachable.

I am able to use the rest of the QNAP service like SMB… the whole PMS service does not seem to be running.

I can log in via SSH as admin, cd to the Plex Media Server/Library/Logs directory and see that no log is updating any longer…

Can you pls help me?

Start by trying to downgrade to the stable version. Then please let us know details of your qnap hardware so we can try to replicate.

How do I downgrade?

I am not familiar with qnap interface - but there has to be documented from qnap? You can download the stable version from our webpage.

Do I uninstall?
Do I just install the “older” version over the new?

Do not uninstall. This will remove your library as well since it is located inside QPKG installation folder. Has happened to me in the past once so I know this as a fact.

I also installed latest 1.5 Beta on my QNAP 1080 pro and it seemed to work. Now I’m migrating my Plex server to SSD volume. Let’s see how the migration goes.

Thank you for pointing this out. I am currently trying to “over” install 1.14.1.5488 on one of my QNAPS that I found and that was the last version being installed before.

I am here, Let me read and catch up please?

Do not uninstall. Uninstalling will remove your metadata

Thx,

To let you know… I am using two 32-bit QNAPs with the older 4.2.x firmware… not able to upgrade to the 4.3.x firmware…

This is the QNAP package which does NOT play nice: PlexMediaServer-1.15.0.647-67e950f12-x86

The first QNAP is back to 1.14.1… which seems to work.
Just downgrading the second QNAP…

Let me know if I can help to fix this…

The same package works for my QNAP 1080 pro with firmware 4.3.6.0805. With the new build I was also finally able to migrate Plex to volume 2 (SSD). Now it is running faster. I will continue testing whether any problems are to be found…

Maybe something to do with QNAP make and model (AARM vs Intel etc)?

Sorry, this is a different package, I think.

I am on 32-bit and loading the Intel/AMD package…

The QNAP models I use are:

TS-459 Pro II
TS-659 Pro II

both with the latest firmware of 4.2.6 (!)

Yes, you are correct. I’m on 64 bit and with PlexMediaServer-1.15.0.647-67e950f12-x86_64.qpkg. Hopefully you are able to get your issue with x86 release fixed.

Happy hunting and sorry for the confusion!

May we collect & verify information please?

I will get on the TS-459 Pro II in the lab.

Also, be advised, we are following QNAP’s directives

For x86 package, we will suggest to add the following configuration in qpkg.conf

# Minimum QTS version requirement
QTS_MINI_VERSION="4.2.0"
# Maximum QTS version requirement
QTS_MAX_VERSION="4.2.9"

For x86-64 package, we will suggest to add the following configuration in qpkg.con

# Minimum QTS version requirement
QTS_MINI_VERSION="4.3.0"
# Maximum QTS version requirement (Optional)
QTS_MAX_VERSION="4.9.9"

It would be great if you could help to add the configuration to qpkg.conf. Since QTS 4.2.0~4.2.x was based on 64bit kernel with 32bit library, the x86-64 package won't work on QTS 4.2.0~4.2.x. On the other hand, the x86 package won't work on QTS 4.3.0 and above. Sometimes users will install the wrong package and it won't work, this configuration will prevent user from this situation. 

I am logged into the HQ Lab now and working this.

Thanks. I am here and not going anywhere… go ahead, I will collect and verify. Please ask,

One further thing…
The official download link on plex.tv
is still on 1.14.1… so I downloaded the package from the orange upgrade notice bar on Plex Web… which is this URL:

https://plex.tv/downloads/latest/1?channel=8&build=linux-debian-i686&distro=qnap&X-Plex-Token=blablub

This has been a “problem” for the last few releases for the QNAP download links in my case… Germany that is.

FWI. I am getting 1.15.0. Redirection at plex.tv is working as it should.

Just click that link… when signed into Plex pass, regardless what the link is saying, you get 1.15.0.647 as you should.

Sure… this is what it’s like on my end…

See the download link show at the bottom left… still 1.14.1…

western or eastern Germany bitte?

I must determine which server to check.
