Plex and hibernation

Plex is a bit infamous for preventing hibernation on a Synology NAS. The Plex team has missed this for probably a few years now for some reason. Anyway it can be fixed with a workaround. Plex recently changed their filelayout, but try to locate this file on your NAS: /volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/Plug-ins-7f37aa9/System.bundle/Contents/Code/storeservice.py Open it with your favourite texteditor (I've configured "Config File Editor" in DSM to be able to open it) and locate the row: Thread.CreateTimer(300, self.auto_update_thread) Change it so it looks like this: # Thread.CreateTimer(300, self.auto_update_thread) Now hibernation works again!
