Well learning curve for anyone else I uninstalled plex then re installed choosing the option to claim the server and get the plex code. It’s saying server update required to do it manually not worked that out yet.

Install Plex clients: Install Plex clients on your devices, such as your phone, tablet, or smart TV. You can download the Plex app from the app store on your device.

Sign in to your Plex account: Sign in to your Plex account on both the Plex Media Server and the Plex clients.

Add media to the library: Add media files to your library by selecting the "Add Library" option and choosing the type of media you want to add, such as movies or TV shows.

Customize Plex settings: Customize the Plex settings, such as the transcoding quality and streaming settings, to optimize your media playback experience.

I’ve got it up and running but still can’t work out how to update the software it was easy on my Mac.

Downloads

Click here to Download the Plex media server for Windows, Mac, Linux FreeBSD and more free today.

www.plex.tv

Select ‘Synology’ and I think you want the Intel 64-bit download. Do this to your Mac/PC.

In Package Center there is the Manual Install button at the top of the window. Use this to update Plex using the downloaded installer file.

Does the synology nas put the hard drives to sleep? The app says everything is ok healthy and plex is running but when I went to the tv app client it’s saying server not available it took a few attempts for it to load its then I noticed the nas drive lights flickering as if waking up.

Yes there is a setting somewhere to hibernate drives. But some packages will cause this setting to be ignored, if enabled. It’s documented in the DSM Help.
