Plex media server won't start

  • After reinstalling Plex it wil not start anymore. Needed to reinstall because for some weird reason it wouldn't connect to my parents tv as i moved the nas to their house.


    Tried the uninstall, apt-clean, restart, instal, restart,


    Did some searching and got some more details;

    And then the Crash Report has no errors


    all out of ideas now, and due to all the rsync jobs and configuring, i really don't like the thought of reinstalling (omv) yet again

  • So i did a complete reinstall of OMV... And guess what, same issue???


    EDIT: And another reinstall, directly after reinstalling i added the OMV extras repo and installed plex.. Still the same issue, getting ready to throw the nas out of the window.
