I plan to set up Plex on Docker to replace my direct install... both to simplify updates, and to "immunize" Plex against DSM updates. Traditionally, I would source the docker image from the software creators... in this case, Plex. Most guides and videos I've come across, seem to prefer...

Read a few threads regarding Plex connection issues but mine seems slightly different. Mum watches my Plex media from a remote location and its been working without an issue for months. She had a bit of a break and tried to watch it the other day. Would not connect, she was not logged in so...

So, this is a head scratcher for me and need help figuring this out. In an endeavor to ensure that this goes according to plan, I look to you, the Synology geniuses, to guide me. I currently have the Synology DS218+ that I use as a Plex Media Server but also use for backups. One of my hard...

Over the past few months, Plex SPKs have uploading issues when manually updating Plex. After I select the SPK, it takes at least a minute before the first signs of upload appear on the Synology widget. This then stretches out for 2-3 minutes before a pop-up window appears that tells me...

Hi, I am trying to install Plex on my 920+. I've tried both the direct download and the Beta package. With the former I get an installation error which says I need a higher version of DMS — I'm on the latest 7.x version so I don't understand this. That way doesn't work then, so I try the Beta...

Hello all. First time post. I’m more of an A/V guy than a computer guy but I’ve done pretty well and I’m happy with my current set up (Plex and network). But I need more storage (and redundancy) so I’m considering buying a NAS. Before I screw things up I’d like to get your...

Afternoon All: I have a Plex system (Plex Media Server for serving the media, and Plex for Windows for viewing the media) operating on my Windows 10 PC. All the media is stored on two different Synology systems (a 218+ and 220+). I want to install Plex on my other Synology, a 1520+. How do I...

I was just wondering this because I was scanning the forums and am seeing a lot more issues people have since the release of DSM7. I haven't upgraded my NAS (1520+) yet cos - "Plex" - so I'm not on the receiving end of many of these issues. I also tend to be a few months behind applying updates...

Hi all, I have latest Plex (manual update) and would like to add Synology Photos folder to Plex library. When I go to first folder under "Photo" I see nothing more: and once finished no files (photo, videos) are detected. Videos working in Plex are in different folder ( Media ): I...

Greetings to everyone. I love the ds918+ and run a Plex server for my household with 20 terabytes of movies and TV shows . no commercial heaven. I buy a lot of TV show DVD's on amazon and just dump them into the Plex server I do run Transmission occasionally so , I have no plans to update to...

I just upgraded DSM to 6.2.4-25556 Update 3, and now Plex is not working properly! It gets stuck at 99% CPU and doesn't play videos. My Plex version is 1.24.4.508-6000 - which I believe is the latest, but I haven't received a notice to upgrade for months. Has anyone else seen the same...

Hi Glad to be on this forum ( as I have wasted hours of my time and am getting nowhere fast with finding a solution) - I am hoping somebody can help!! I have installed / uninstalled etc but still no success. And this all worked with the previous DSM version which i think was 6.0? I have a...

Hi Thanks for accepting me on this forum !! I am hoping somebody can help!! I have a new DS920+ running DSM 7.0. I have loaded the available Plex (Beta version) App from Packages. All loaded as expected and as the subsequent support pages I have researched, have confirmed , however when I try to...

I want to use hyper-backup to backup my plex server. I have Plex upgraded to version 7.0 When I look at the shared folders I now have 2 plex folders. (Plex) and (PlexMediaServer), question is are both of these folders still in use or is the (Plex) shared folder left over from Plex 6.0? 2nd...

Hello, I'm eyeing the DS1621+. I'll use it as a storage / plex server only. I know the DS1520+ is cheaper but I like the improved build quality on the DS1621+ and the extra bay. Would it do a good job in my case ? Or is the lack of integrated GPU a real problem ? Thank you !

NAS: DS214play running DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 2 Hi there, Over the past couple of days I’ve installed the following apps: SABnzbd Sonarr Radarr Plex Media Server Mono & Python 3.8 (mandatory installs as part of some of the above) All apps seem to have configured and connected to their...

Hi, im keen to connect Plex to my TVHeadend server - both running on DSM 7, but I can’t find a decent guide specifically for Synology. There are references to folders which I can’t find on the Synology for plugins etc. has anyone been able to get these to work together - they work well...

Hi, I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing the DS920+. I will be using it as a Plex Server mainly, and also setting up a torrent client with *arr intergration, with the torrent traffic hopefully going through a VPN; need to research my options here. Is it better to have Plex installed...

I'm on the current build of synology 6.2.4.x and I've just moved house. As I was setting things back up, I got the Synology up and running and launched Plex. My local Synology libraries are all gone. I figured something hiccuped so I went to add them anew. I followed the normal path of clicking...
