Totally remove Plex?
I know that I can reinstall Plex. but what happens if I totally remove it? Then I can cleanly install it and any flags do not show up.
It just trys to launch and fails, with the error that' 192.168.x.x refused to connect' (192.168.x.x is my NAS address). It looks like '192.169.x.x:32400/web' is the actual command. It follows up with the error that it cannot start with the error code 2200201000.
I can use the NAS but Plex cannot. Please help!
Perhaps try rebooting the PC.
Though not critical, since you were able to use ssh to resolve the original problem.

(192.168.x.x is my NAS address).
FYI, 192.168.x.x addresses are private (not routable over the internet), so you can safely post them.

You might also want to look at this post, in order to get more info on how to find the pid file that you need to delete.

Unfortunely the second command where you type the net use command
did not work.
There are two ways to look for the pid file. One is to use ssh. The other is to access the NAS data volume with admin credentials. For example, run CMD and enter this:
net use * /delete /y
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS IP address and NAS admin password of course. Be care on the typing (both the slash directions and the spaces matter).
Then open file explorer, and enter T:\.apps\plexmediaserver\MediaLibrary\Plex Media Server in the address bar.
I get an error that it cannot find it. I must doing something
wrong.
So I just ssh'd in and looked for the problem ...and I found and then I rm the file.
I had this posted twice and your only one that responed. Any way it fixed it.
Unfortunely the second command where you type the net use command
did not work.Can you post what you typed and what error you got?
Is the NAS using the default admin password (e.g., password)?
Also, are you using FlexRAID? If you are, then you need to use your volume name instead of "Data"
Note the two net use commands do need to be entered on different lines.
All I got were (After the t.. part) was NO response.
The NAS is not using the default password and I am using FlexRAID - But the name of the volume is DATA.
I get this when try type the commands.
C:\Windows\system32>net use * /delete /y - deleting all old connections
There are no entries in the list.
But now I get a different result as it says you have go delete them.
You have these remote connections:
T: \\192.168.1.29\data
Continuing will cancel the connections.
The command completed successfully.
And I get a System error 67 when I try the t; command. even if make sure I type two 'net use' first to get clean system.
I am talking to my NAS by files and by logging in to it.
Perhaps try rebooting the PC.

I've always been a fan of pushing people to pickup a cheap desktop that has a processor that supports quicksync. With Intel quicksync, you can transcode plex without issues and it'll use minimal power. It'll have a lot more capability that running plex on a NAS. Most users that I've seen using plex/jellyfin eventually move to a dedicated device for it.

FWIW, I run plex on a desktop myself. In my case, it is an entry-level gaming PC with an Nvidia GPU.
That said, there are plenty of small form factor PCs that have the needed horsepower for plex transcoding, and often you can get a good deal on them if you purchase used.
