Plex Media Server not working on Nighthawk X10 R9000 Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.18
Hi. Today you released new update but this broke the Plex Media Server. Can you please fix it? See picture attachment. Also the telnet on debug.htm it's no longer available, why? Thanks! ...
Hi guys.
I've managed to reinstall/plex by doing the following:
0) Disable donwload/enable Plex and update checkboxes on you router page.
1) I've installed a web server (in my case Microsoft IIS)
2) I've added this file to the web server and made it accesible via HTTPS at this address (https://localhost/sw-apps/plex/r9000/verify_binary.txt), with some certificate, doesn't matter what certificate, just place one for HTTPS connection to became accesible - in my case I've used one installed already in my personal cert store named NVIDIA GameStream Server.
3) go to router telnet, then login via telnet
4) edit /etc/hosts and add this line, where 192.168.1.2 it's my newly webserver:
192.168.1.2 http.fw.updates1.netgear.com
5) Type this to make sure that old/bad arhive it's deleted:
rm -rf /var/plexmediaserver-r9k-1.19.4.2935-79e214ead-armv7.tgz
6) go to:
cd /var
7) Enable Plex Media Server
Proof attached.
