Server Version#: PlexMediaServer-1.31.2.6757-39d3abef1-x86\_64  
Player Version#: web

Complete uninstall / reinstall of plex on QNAP, and I can’t add any libraries. Digging into the Logs directory I see:

Mar 07, 2023 12:41:33.587 [0x7f737b146b38] ERROR - [Req#1b4] Library: Couldn’t create section: ‘agent’ is missing or invalid

… which appears to be the exact error in this thread:  
https://embed.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/113j2gv/scanner_error_fresh_install/?embed=true&ref_source=embed&ref=share

I’ve tried the oldest version I can download at Plex, PlexMediaServer-1.31.1.6733-bc0674160-x86\_64… but it also exhibits the same error.

Can we please get some Plex support attention on this issue?

That was fixed but not in the build. We have 3 major issues back-to-back all being solved in sequence.

Install Public release for now (on top of the existing)

ChuckPa, thank you for the response.

What is the “Public” release? When I go to [https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/](https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/), not logged in, the version offered for QNAP is:  
1.31.1.6733-bc0674160

… which is one of the versions I did try and confirmed is broken in this same way.

Public: Plex Pass Downloads = Off. Currently 1.31.1.6733.

Beta: Plex Pass Downloads = On. Currently 1.31.2.6757.

You can subscribe to the Plex Media Server [announcement thread](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-media-server/30447/559) to be notified when updates are available. Scroll to the bottom of the thread and change “Normal” to “Watching.”

Okay, so I guess I was correct that the “public” version is 1.31.1.6733.

@ChuckPa:

This version is broken.

If there is a version that’s NOT broken, I’d like to know. But Chuck seemed to be saying that the “Public” release installing would fix the issue. I tried before I posted this in the first place.

So, waiting on Plex for a fix, is what I am given to understand at this point.

PUBLIC does the following:

1. Stops the “Can’t create a server” problem.
2. Stops other problems

PUBLIC doesn’t fix the libraries problem (predates the fix)

PlexPass has a regression which negates using it (the Libraries fix)

Which version would you like? About a month back?

Don’t you keep a few handy? or Look in App Center?

No, I don’t keep any handy. Version I see in QNAP App Center is 1.16.6.

Not a critical issue for me, so I’ll hold tight until there’s a fix published.

1.16.6 ? I got them to update to 1.29.2

ODD. 🤔

If you need a version, I’ll give you one . Not a big deal.

Well, do we know when the “add libraries” bug came in? I guess I’m looking for the version one before that!

DO you use the internal Nvidia GPU card?

Which model do you have ? I’ll grab you a version (recent) which I know is stable and works.

Caveat – No credit detection.
