    In the Plugin tab, there is an uninstall button right next to the install button you used to install it. -or- from the command line apt-get remove openmediavault-plexmediaserver plexmediaserver

  • I was having the same issue. Turned out to be a permissions issue while creating the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library directory during installation. I was able recursively update the parent folder and manually install Plex. Currently streaming a movie in HD. Please post the contents of /var/log/daemon.log.

  • Hi Lekim36, here's the content of my daemon.log


    ty for the help !

  • I'm having the same problem but have a few additional comments:

    • I'm waiting for a Time Machine backup to complete. Then I'll try rebooting between steps. Hopefully this will help clean up some of the mess.
    • Even though PMS is uninstalled, the sidebar still shows "Plex Media Server" in Sevices.
    • Whenever I click this entry, the system throws an error message: "Failed to execute XPath query <cr><lf> //services/plexmediaserver."
    • Ykzel is going to reinstall OMV. For me this is really unacceptable. On my system OMV sits on an internal USB flash drive, and it has to be removed to reinstall OMV because the system can't boot from a drive with an install iso while the system drive is present. Just reinstalling OMV is a 2-3 hour process since the ~50 lb. NAS system has to be removed from the media cabinet and moved elsewhere, a terminal & keyboard attached, the system drive removed, and OMV reinstalled. Then OMV has to be reconfigured and the NAS system returned to the media cabinet. And there's no guarantee the PMS plugin will behave any differently after OMV is reinstalled.
    • When OMV is reinstalled, what happens to existing data on the system's hard drives? Are the data lost, or do they stay on the drives?
    • Is reinstalling OMV a common solution for problems like this? If so, is there anyway to reinstall by changing the BIOS settings and not having to remove the internal system flash drive?
    • Can one reinstall OMV on a headless system, or does one have to connect monitor & keyboard?
    • Is the plugin really worth all this trouble versus just installing PMS under Debian through the CLI?
    • I'm a Plex Pass member and want to use the Plex Pass version of PMS. Considering this, is the plugin really worth it?
    • Lekim36: when you mention installing PMS "manually," do you mean a Debian install outside OMV?
    • Lekim36: From CLI on my system, running "ls -l" while in /var/lib only returns an entry for "postfix." When you say you "recursively update the parent folder," exactly what parent folder do you mean: /var/lib, /var/lib/plexmediaserver, or another?
    • There's no "/var/log/daemon.log" on my system.
    • Suppose I went the route of installing PMS under Debian and without using the plugin. What's the recommended way to clean up things in OMV, like the Services > Plex Media Server entry?
  • Just an update.

    • Rebooting got rid of the PMS item in the sidebar, but the XPath error message still sometimes crops up in unexpected places.
    • {Uninstall plugin > reboot > reinstall plugin > reboot} does not fix the problem.

      • The first time I tried to install the plugin the installation seemed successful, but the PMS did not start. Following suggestions in the forums, I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. But, except for the initial install, it does not install without errors.
    • I think my next step will be to try installing a linux version of PMS in docker.
    • But before doing so, I'd like to clean up all traces of the unsuccessful Plex plugin installation. Do you have any suggestions for the best way to do this?


  • What do I do now?

  • Have you cleared your browser's cache?

    I still had the plug-in patly installed. Removed and disabled the service with the WebGUI. Oh and yes I did clear cache, thanks.


    BTW: I am on 3.0.88 on an intel i3.
