Plex server on the R9000 has now been updated to version 1.16.0.

If running an older version of Plex server, you should either be offered to manually install the latest version available, or if automatic update are activated, the download should happen in the background and your Plex server be updated.

    Thank you for the update.

     

    Sadly, you are too late, I ordered my Synology DS918+ and 16GB Ram 7/15 on Amazon Prime Day.

    1.16.0 Is not going to help that is a release from June 18 2019 and Plex made a change July 1 which breaks that ones DVR TV function Plex released 1.16.2 July 1 which fixes everything so 1.16.0 will not fix any thing I am at 1.16.0 and have tested it Live Tv/DVR still will not register your tuner This is the email that Plex sent out last month How long before I can get this fixed

     

    Greetings, Plex Live TV & DVR user -

    We're making major changes to how guide data is curated and delivered in Plex. Beginning on June 30, 2019 Plex will require Plex Media Server version 1.16.1 to maintain EPG data and overall Live TV & DVR functionality. Users that don't upgrade by the above date will begin losing guide data starting July 1, 2019.

    Since part of this process involves matching your current channel lineup to a new channel lineup, as well as matching any recordings that you may already have scheduled, we strongly encourage all users to refresh their program guide after updating Plex Media Server and then review their channel lineup and scheduled recordings. If something is amiss, we recommend deleting and setting up the DVR from scratch. If you encounter problems, visit our forums.

    Best -
    The Plex Team
