In any case, normal NAS functions are unaffected. As mentioned earlier, Thecus themselves have been MIA for a number of years now, so I’m unlikely to get help from that quarter. If anyone can offer some help, I’d be very appreciative. I’d rather not go through the pain of that again. It’s a fairly hefty collection, and it took a looooong time to fix and curate. But, I’m likely to lose all my libraries, settings, collections, etc. I figure that I could probably fix this by uninstalling Plex completely, and then re-installing the older version. But, I thought, maybe it’s a known issue, and this is the fix. Which struck me as a bit odd, since my Plex only just informed me about 1. I had a look at Plex Media Server downloads page, and there was actually an even newer version there (1.). I tried rolling back to the previous version, but even after that was installed and running, the crash issue kept happening. As soon as I activate the Plex Server Module again, within a few minutes, BAM, NAS crash. Once deactivated, the NAS runs fine, no issues, same as it always was. The only way out of it is to force-power it down, which is not great for a NAS with a RAID-5 array.Īnyway, I know it’s the Plex Server module, because I can deactivate it by logging in while the NAS is still finishing its boot process. Even the LCD on the front which rotates through the NAS settings, health, time date, connections, etc is frozen. I don’t just mean Plex freezes up, the whole NAS locks up.


I go ahead and do it, as I’ve done on the previous occasions.Įxcept this time, after the install of version 1., my NAS started crashing. Opened up my Plex desktop client today, and I’m informed there’s a server update ready to download and install. up until the 2nd most recent 1., I haven’t had any issues. So I was rather shocked when the latest offerings from Plex for the Thecus actually worked!įor reference, my 5810 is running OS7 firmware version 3.02.08.10. Thecus has all but disappeared from the world, so there really isn’t any support or updates to be had. I’ve been running, somewhat to my surprise, the latest versions of Plex Media server on my Thecus NAS N5810, for quite some time now.
