ReadyNAS OS6 - Plex not showing as running but is (RN516)
I have a ReadyNAS RN516 which originally started on OS 6.0.3 but was quickly updated to 6.0.5, it always had issues showing the actual running state of the Plex server, and even though it shows as Off...
To address this issue this is what I did:
SSH into the RN516
systemctl stop fvapp-plexmediaserver
Frontview, Apps, toggle Plex to on.
systemctl status fvapp-plexmediaserver
...and you shouls see the following:
root@ReadyNAS_516:/home/guyp# systemctl status fvapp-plexmediaserver
fvapp-plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fvapp-plexmediaserver.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon, 20 May 2013 09:56:20 -0500; 4 days ago
Main PID: 5013 (Plex Media Serv)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/fvapp-plexmediaserver.service
â 5013 /apps/plexmediaserver/Binaries/Plex Media Server
â 5075 /apps/plexmediaserver/Binaries/Plex DLNA Server
â 14715 Plex Plug-in [com.plexapp.system] /apps/plexmediaserver/MediaLibrary/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources...
That is what I did and have not had an issue since. However I do agree this should be accomplished from frontview without having to SSH into the RN516.
