Help! (please)
I run Plex from a Synology DS220+ (DSM7.1.1-42962 (Update 2)).
Plex ran like a dream yesterday but I kept getting a message to say a Plex update was available and a Server update - I thought it best to update Plex first so off I went.
I updated it (not sure what version from, but to 1.29.2.6364-7000 - the latest version available from the Package Center).
It behaved a little odd and the package said it was still starting for a while when in fact it was already running by that stage in another window.
When Plex booted it asked for my login information and then ran me through creating a new server (odd as I already have one).
I created a server knowing I could remove it later and reclaim my own server, then when I got into Plex I got a message on my original server saying “The server “PlexServer1” is unreachable. Make sure it’s running, double check your network, and try again.”
I tried the fix of changing the permissions of the media folder in the shared folder part of DSM - no luck.
I tried then manual installing Plex “1.30.1.6562-915986d62-x86_64_DSM7” - no luck.
I’ve uninstalled that version and reinstalled 1.29.2.6364-7000 from the package center for now. (I selected the second option of the three - telling it not to delete my server completely).
I’m now stuck!
I’ve still got access to my media files on the NAS but I’m more concerned about my metadata (I think this is the right term…) - where I’m upto, what I’ve watched/listened to etc… and I don’t really want to have to rebuild my server from scratch.
Please could someone advise if they know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
