Server Version#: DSM7 Player Version#: Newest Beta Version Can someone help me to find this problem? I wasn’t able to manage my server after DSM7. So I decided to delete the server and start from scratch. Not so easy if you ask me. I have deleted all the files of Plex and I have delete the shared …

If you use the DSM 7 packaging tools I provide, management isn’t difficult. Perhaps it would be most helpful to Read what’s changed Look at the new menu system and tools I’ve provided with the installer GUI for managing this type issue. (next post in this same thread ) [image] …

I did read all of this but nothing is solving my problem. I still can’t delete my old server or just make sure that I can install a new Media server for some reason. I have tried to install true package center and by downloading your software.

Did you also go to https://app.plex.tv → Authorized Devices → Server (dropdown) and delete the plex.tv entry ? Even after uninstalling, Plex.tv will retain the info about the server. I am working to see if I can effect deletion of it when you actually destroy an installation.

This is what I get to see. Nothing more. I have already deleted it here but it seems to be back again. [Schermafbeelding 2021-05-11 om 03.55.06]

Go to DSM package center. Uninstall my package ERASE the server data as you uninstall. This will remove the installed PMS and the server ID Now go back to Plex.tv and remove it again. It will not return until you install again.

Once I have completed the new installation of Plex it just gives me the “No Soup” page and it won’t let me reconfigure the server. [Schermafbeelding 2021-05-11 om 10.17.33] …

I already did this step and this also doesn’t work. I couldn’t reclaim my existing server. So I have deleted everything and I now want to install and reconfigure the whole server. Just start from scratch with Plex. Plex won’t let me do it. Once I have installed Plex again, I can open the applicatio…

Thanks for the help! I have followed your instruction on the page down below and I have deleted the port forward Plex automatically installed for me. This did the trick. I can now reinstall the server! https://forums.plex.tv/t/looking-for-a-fix-for-no-soup-for-you-the-server-youre-trying-to-access-…

If you have been using partial DSM 7 - without migration (or have a failed migration with all data still in the Plex shared folder) – Uninstall & ERASE DSM 7. Install the package again Fresh. Could you tell me how to do this, I have the data in the Plex folder safely and I must have mucked somethi…

@bobcrocky If you have the DSM 7 package installed – ( Look for the -7000 package ID in Package Center attached to the Plex version ) Then normal Uninstall the package and select the red ERASE option. It is very clear.

If there is no content, did you remember to give the PlexMediaServer service name access to the media ?

Does this look familiar ?
