Is there a way to stop Plex which automatically starting upon NAS power up? Thanks!
Package Center - Plex - Stop.
You will need to start it manually and then stop it before shutdown/reboot.
On a NAS, any service, such as Plex, is presumed to be needed at system startup.
QNAP behaves the same.
I tried to create a scheduled trigger to shut it down using a script but it restarted on itself own too. There’s no way to disable the start up script?
You would have to hack DSM to accomplish what you’re asking

I’m comfortable with SSH’ing into the Synology. Could you point me where I need to remove the start up script?

There is no startup script.
Synology uses a postgress SQL database for their startup. That’s what you’d have to hack (edit)
Thanks for the insights Chuck. I managed to find a solution thou its in reverse. What I did was to shutdown the Plex Media Server via a Shutdown Triggered User Defined Script which has the following command
synopkg stop "Plex Media Server"
The next time the NAS starts up, Plex is not auto started by default
