R9000 Plex Support

Is support for the R9000 Plex functionality discontinued? Seems like the current Plex version on the router is multiple years old, disabling some key functionality. Specifically was trying to use the DVR and cannot due to out of date software.

    Upgrading your plex server to something more designed for it tends to function a lot better. I built a server and stuck a gpu thats supported by plex in mine and its night/day better than running of a router processor. 

    Even a pretty basic NUC works better. Plus then you can update it/manage it as you choose.
