NETGEAR R9000 NIGHTHAWK X10 Plex Version Update

Hi. I have a concern regarding Plex Updates on my X10 device. PLEX Dev Team releases almost monthly new versions of Plex Server but Netgear support team allow X10 users to update their Server Version...

    Hello Everyone 

     

    We are currently ungoing testing on Plex version 1.16.2  and we are planning to release it on the R9000 in the near furture.

Could we get an update when the next Plex update is going to be released?
That was one of the primary reasons for me to purchase the router and it is more then frustrating that these updates are not frequent.
I understand that those releases need to be verified, but there should be at least a consistent realse cycle and expectations management for customers.

 

cheers

Shame on you Netgear. The latest plex server version available for this router (which btw, you promoted it as a killer feature) is from Dec. 2018.

What the hell are you doing?!?!?!?!

    I belive they abandoned this project because of low selling.

    X10 still a good router despite the lack of updates and Plex deprecated version.

      Convinced Plex does continue to build ARMv8 versions e.g. for QNAP and Synology - as they do for the Netgear X10. The point is that some testing must be done, and then the package must be added to the distribution channel. It's all about resources. Fancy DumaOS and Wi-Fi 6 routers sell better these days than the good ol R9000 does. 8-/

       

      Christian_R  can Plex "early access" be added to the R9000 Beta releases?

        Just noticed that Plex removed X10 from their server list. I am hoping that's not a sign that I won't be getting any plex updates on my X10. It now has a build from December '18. We're in July'19 now.
