Schmill Posted November 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2014 I don't seem to be able to get plex to start on my box at the moment, (the package shows as started, but it is not running correctly, there is no web interface etc). If I SSH in and cd to "/var/packages/Plex Media Server/scripts" ...... I have stopped the service in package manager, and the start_stop_status script confirms this: /var/packages/Plex Media Server/scripts # ./start-stop-status status Plex is not running However when I try to start plex I get a LOT of errors: /var/packages/Plex Media Server/scripts # ./start-stop-status start Starting Plex ... /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/rsync: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have truncated this for readability as there are a fair few of these messages! A status check will then show plex as running, but needless to say it does not 'appear' to be running (no web interface etc). /var/packages/Plex Media Server/scripts # ./start-stop-status status Plex is running Any ideas as to what is happening here? Thanks EDIT Also looking in the plex log, (via package manager), it shows a long list of trying to install plug-ins, and errors in the form of: error - system returned error, errno=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmill Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted November 3, 2014 Not really a solution to getting Plex working I think, but thanks for pointing out an alternative none the less... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddan83 Posted November 3, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2014 what version of plex are you running? have you tried the latest from https://plex.tv/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmill Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted November 3, 2014 Hi I checked the permissions and nothing appeared amiss - I even changed some as per a post I found, but it made no difference so I changed it back. Thing is I don't know how old some of the information on the net is and if I just fiddle I might break it further - lol Yes - I tried the pack from synology package manager, then uninstalled that and tried the latest Intel / Synology pack from the Plex site and neither worked correctly.

freddan83 Posted November 4, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2014 epic> find / -name libiconv.so.2 /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/libiconv.so.2 here is my file if you wanna try with it.. http://afasi.zapto.org/~fredrik/libiconv.so.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmill Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks - the file is there on my system, I've even now tried adjusting the permissions and everything. Spent too long on it now, doing a fresh install and will copy the data back from backup and see if it works then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shteve Posted November 9, 2014 Share #9 Posted November 9, 2014 Mine wouldn't start after the upgrade due to permissions errors. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it's all good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
