Plex service won't start.

[pcmofo]

So I have updated to the latest 9.2.1.6 release, and I have deleted and reinstalled the Jail several times for Plex following the official video by FreeNas. I attach storage to the plugin jail, but when I go to the "installed Plugins" nothing is listed. Several searches on this and other forums ask me to navigate to specific plex folders etc or start services manually however, those folders or locations are always empty.

Not sure what to do now, my FreeNas is working great otherwise, and it appears to correctly install Plex, however none of the files appear to actually install or show up in the plugins.

I was able to fix my issue by deleting the jail dataset and all of the jails, then re-booting and reinstalling plex it finally worked. I could not get any jail to properly install including plex. Now it is running fine.
