Is PLEX compatibile with ReadyNAS 420 Series
Neither ReadyNas RN422 nor 424 are the PLEX compatibility list. Yet PLEX is listed in the Add-on Applications section of the ReadyNAS 420 Series. If one also consider that RN31X models are on the P...
I got 2x 1080 video streams on the 42x series. If there are other tasks running, then 1x 1080p stream easily.
A while ago when I was testing plex with 31x, I think I barely got 1x 720p stream.
I agree that Netgear does not distribute Plex,but it is listed as a supported third pary app in the netgear data sheetand is also referenced in knowledge base of netgear (see link ReadyNAS OS 6: Plex Installation & Setup)
The list on the netgear KB appear the same as on the plex website one. Maybe as you say is just question of updating the list also for Netgear.
Most probably I will try to install and will report if it works. If anybody has additional info would be appreciated.

No, some can be limited to ARM-only or X86-only.

I did install PLEX myself and even if I have not done major testing I do have not encountred any issue. Enabling DLNA within PLEX I can even stream to an TV that has no specific PLEX support. So I would say the system appear to work reasonably well.
Thanks for the reassurance that I would not do major damages when installing.

Whoops yes, it is really unfortunate that netgear confuses the product line and os versioning by having those pesky, incompatible with x86, low power arm devices, let me re-qualify;
Any os6 app should work on any os6 device of the same cpu architecture.
os6-x86 app to os6-x86 device, os6-arm app to os6-arm device.
