Hello,
I would like to install Plex on my DS920+ running DSM 6.2.4, and I'm wondering about the pros and cons of installing via the Package Center vs. Manual Install. It looks like the version of Plex in the Package Center is behind the latest version available directly from Plex. Is it true that applications installed via the Package Center will automatically be updated once a new update is available? What about applications (i.e., Plex) that I manually install, will that application (or DSM) detect a new version is available, and automatically download/install the new version,? Or once I manually install Plex, then from now on I have to manually check to see if an updated version is available from Plex, and then manually download and install?
To put it another way, would it be better to install the older version of Plex from Package Center and wait for Package Center to get the newest version and automatically install it, or should I get the latest version from Plex and (assuming new automatic updates for manual installs), and forgo automatic detection/download/install of newer versions as they become available?
Sorry for my newbie questions, I am new to Synology and DSM.
Thanks for your help and advice!
