Hi Lukas, Thank you for your words of support! 🇺🇦
It looks like your NAS uses an ARM CPU, and my suspicion is that the script might be choosing the wrong CPU architecture among the three options available on the website. Could you please share the model of your NAS and what kind of package you usually download manually from the website?
Hi Yuriy,
yes definitely ARM: model DS218. It downloads ARMv8 package (64bit I believe). Right now, the update file name is "PlexMediaServer-1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3-aarch64_DSM7.spk". It worked for me in the past – when manually downloaded and installed.
If installing an ARMv8 package manually works for you, then it looks like the script downloads the correct package and there must be something else going on during installation.
The error message (failed to sort spks, the spk might not exist or invalid format
) must be coming from the DSM binaries, and, unfortunately, there's not a lot of troubleshooting information I can find about that error. In case I have any further ideas, I'll reach out in this thread. Sorry it's not working as expected, thanks for reporting!
One other thought: there might be useful diagnostic information in /var/log/synoscgi.log
around the time the installation failures occurred.
No, it's a file in the NAS filesystem containing the diagnostic logs. One way to retrieve it would be to SSH into the NAS, then sudo -i
, then cat /var/log/synoscgi.log
(or grep -ir plex /var/log
to retrieve all messages related to Plex in general). Some log records from the timeframe when the installation error occurred could help understand what's happening under the hood.
Here you go:

See, I am not software developer ;) so it gets complicated for me quickly. Scheduled task works (kind of) for me: at least I get notified by email and can run update manually.
Thanks for the logs!
error":{"code":289,"description":"spk is not from synology"}
is interesting: it looks like the system is configured to trust only the packages published by Synology when installing them automatically. That might explain why the script fails yet a manual installation succeeds.
I've observed similar behavior on an older DSM version (DSM 6), and it required some configuration to work properly. DSM 7, however, doesn't seem to expose those settings anymore – at least on my DS918+. In case you do find any settings related to "Trust" in Package Center or Control Panel (something like those in the article linked above), you can experiment with them.
Hi, scheduled task always runs, but it stops with an error with non-existing/invalid spk. At least I get notices that there is new update, and download manually.
Thanks for this little timesaver idea. I see you are from Ukraine: wishing succesful and early ending to the conflict! Cheers, Lukas
