Medusa needs to be repaired every time after restart on DSM7
Medusa 2.0 on DSM7 needs to be repaired as a package on Synology after restart. Any ideas?
I have the same problem but repair is not working. I guess i need to re install?
Doesn't work. I've reinstalled Medusa a couple of times and still need to repair after reboot. Starting the package gives a link to the logfile of Medusa. I will check that one.
No idea, Look in the installation log. You can find it here:
/var/log/packages/medusa.log
Did you add read/write permission tot the share where the video files are located?
If not go to the control panel, choose "Shared Folders" and select the share, choose "Edit" and then "Permissions", in the pulldown select "System Internal User" and tik the read/write box for sc-medusa. Then try to start medusa again from the package center.
If it still fails you could try to remove the package first and then install it fresh.
Done all that and it still wasnt working. I've read it could be something to do with the Radarr package. Stopped the Radarr package and reinstalled Medusa. Rebooted the Synology and the Medusa package was manually stopped. Running it again works now. Did a reboot again and the packages is working now. Weird shit, I guess :-)
I connot test this for a couple of days, but i do not have radarr installed I think and hope remove and re install Medusa will do the trick.
Very strange. Any pointer where you red that Radarr could be the problem?
Somewhere on Reddit when I had problems with Sickchill and was switching to Medusa. Can’t seem to find it anymore. Btw have medusa and Radarr both on a DSM6 Synology and works like a charm. Only had this problem on a DSM7 synology
I checked the Radarr package and although it has some leftovers that only worked on DSM 6, I could not find any interference with other packages. Sickchill has deviated from Medusa by using all kinds of binary libraries and that could collide with Radarr if they use the same binary libraries (just a wild guess). But I no longer support a SickChill package, so I will not investigate that.
I also cannot reproduce the problem, although it is impossible for me to test an upgrade from DSM 6 to DSM 7. The only thing I can think of is that the DSM 6 version left something behind that the packagecenter triggers to display this message. A complete remove, reboot(just to be certain) and new install of medusa should fix such a problem.
OK, same problem this morning. It was working yesterday before my autoshut of my Synology. I shut down my Synology at 00:00 hrs and start automatically at 07:30 hrs. The package says repair and I can't get the rpair to finish. Unable to start the package and syas I need to check the log at var/log/pacakes/medusa.log

The time of 20.22 is when I manually tried to start the package again. Th time of 00.00 is auto shutdown The time of 07:30 is automatically startup
It seems to me that when your Nas shuts down, the package center gives a stop command to the medusa package. Then medusa would shut down and remove it's pidfile. But apperently the Nas does not wait for a gracefull shutdown of medusa and just kills the process, resulting in a leftover pidfile. This will prevent the package to start again, because the pidfile already exists, so the package conclude medusa is already running.
On my Nas this does not happen, but I will try to find a solution for this issue. The package start command script must check if process with the pid from the pidfile is running and if not just remove this pidfile and start medusa. I will keep you posted here when I have this fixed.
The weird thing is that I have the same setup on my other DSM6 Synology with the auto shutdown and auto startup. My Medusa package there gives no problem. Just so you know. Thanks in advance.
I know, on my own Nas this is also no problem at all. The point is that on some devices DSM does not wait for medusa to do a gracefull shutdown and just kill the process or maybe just does not wait long enough to let medusa shutdown gracefull. And medusa itself checks if the pidfile is already there and won't start is so. This message from your log is from medusa.
PID file: /volume1/@appdata/medusa/medusa.pid already exists. Exiting.
I am testing a solution right now and let you know when it is done so you can test it.
EDIT: @EciruamK I have made a new package so if you download it and do a install it will upgrade the startup script and hopefully fix the problem. So maybe you would be so kind to test if this fixed the problem?

Wow fast! Gonna test it today!
Seems ok now! Gonna do my normal routine with autoshutdown and start at midnight and will check it once more tomorrow. Already thank you for the quick release.
Works on my Synology too, thanks BenJV!! I still have a very small problem. When i do a restart from within Medusa. i have to run it from the package center first. No big deal, but maybe a nice puzzle. This did not happen on the DSM 6 version.
This is an inconsistente problem. Sometimes medusa restarts fine and sometimes it fails and has to be started from the package center. I experienced this also on DSM6.
I cannot pinpoint this and there is nothing in the log to be found. Of course this outside the control of my package, so if it bothers you create an issue on the medusa github.
Downloading to try the 2.1 version. Having to reinstall every week was a bit of a pain. Hope this version fix it. Thanks
