Problem solved for me, too. Going back to version 1.5.1 everything was running fine, upgrading to 1.6.0 the issue “starting…” appeared again. Went to settings, changed the mdns advertiser from “avahi” to “ciao”, restarted. Now version 1.6.0 runs without problems.
Go to settings in homebridge and change the mdns advertiser from whatever it is (mine was defaulted to avahi) to ciao and restart. Worked for me
Go to the web gui of Snology, go to the homebridge app, so on the top, click the version number, then choose the version you want
