What version of the plex server are you running?

It is possible that you are being affected by this:

IMPORTANT: With the security changes in version 1.1.0, if your Plex Media Server is signed in to a plex.tv account, then all of the apps you use must also be signed-in. If you use older apps that cannot authenticate (e.g. LG's MediaLink or SmartShare apps), you can add the IP address of the device to the following advanced preference: Settings > Server > Network > List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth. (We strongly encourage apps to be signed in for improved security and enhanced functionality.)

Though the plex release notes don't mention it, if you are going to add your TV's IP address to the server configuration, then you should either reserve the TV's address in the router or make it static.  Reserving in the router is best.

You can download plex server for ReadyNAS OS 6 systems from https://www.plex.tv/downloads/  Select "netgear" as the platform, it will give you a couple of options (x86, arm, RN2xx arm) after that.

Download to your PC and then install on the system->settings page (manual firmware install).

he document “plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_1.1.4.2757-24ffd60_amd64.deb” could not be opened. Plex Media Server cannot open files of this type.

i cant open any of the links i downloaded for netgear its really weird

Did you try installing it from the admin web ui of the NAS???

[karishmadan]

can u pls tell me how to do that i cant figure it out 

[karishmadan]

Update file is not valid for this architecture. all the downloads for netgear if i try to upload them to my ready nas frontview page this is the msg i get so confused 

[bedlam1]

Are you using the GUI "Apps" page and then the "upload" feature on that page ? 

[BrianL2]

Hi karishmadan,

Follow bedlam1's suggestion on how to upload the add-on manually. Lastly, ensure that you've selected the right add-on type that is compatible with your system (ARM 6.x, Intel 6.x and ARM 6.x 200 series).

Kind regards,

As I said, Plex is providing downloads for OS 6 - you have OS 4. 

Plex used to provide downloads for 4.2.x and 5.3.x firmware, but they deprecated those platforms last March.

It is possible to convert your NAS to OS 6 - though it is some work, and Netgear won't provide support.

[karishmadan]

What's the solution can't use plex on this netgear??

[karishmadan]

What sort of work is it super technical??

The instructions are in post #3 in this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/OS6-now-works-on-x86-Legacy-WARNING-NO-NTGR-SUP...

You do need to backup your data first.

Then install the R4toR6 Prep add-on, then install the R4toR6 firmware image. The NAS will verify the image and prompt you to confirm you wish to reboot to install it. The NAS will automatically do a factory reset at the appropriate time avoiding the need for you to use the boot menu to do one manually.

Then you would restore your data from backup.
