Launching Plex app on RN212 evokes ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
I'm running the Plex app (1.0.0.2261) on my RN212 (firmware 6.5.1) and it's working fine over my network - finds and catalogs new files as I add them to Library folders etc... However - I can't a...

Note the pictures at the end. Try going in with plex.tv, navigate to settings->network and make sure that secure connections is set to "preferred"
To summarize, the issue in my original post still remains...
- When working locally from the admin panel on my RN212 (firmware 6.5.1) (also- I never remote in), I cannot access Plex. New info: Plex version 1.0.0.2261.
- Clicking the Plex App icon under the Apps section on my System tab, AND/OR the Plex App icon from the Installed Apps portion of the Apps tab yeilds this error:
The 192.168.1.101 page isn’t working
192.168.1.101 didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE Plex continues to work on all devices on my network (again, all local). Also -when I add new media files to the folders Plex monitors, Plex sees them, scrapes them, and updates the GUI to display them in my libraries.
It's beginning to look like it might be an issue with the ReadyNAS Plex icon - as it is sending me to an HTTP addrerss, and not an HTTPS address.
I must manually add https to the url the app directs me to (http://192.168.1.101/admin/). Only then am I able to access the Plex admin panel.
So - Immediate problem solved... I'm able to access my PLEX admin pannel, but it requires a work-around - and thanks to Stephen B for reminding me of Plex.TV.
However, the original issue still presents itself - clicking the Plex icon still throws the error above. I just purchased my ReadyNAS a few months ago (and love it). I wondered if a Plex forum might yield results... but as this now seems to be RNapp related... I'm not sure.
Again thaks - all for all the input so far - at least I'm in :) Perhps the next update might fix it?

I'm calling this the solution: In Plex Admin go to Settings/Network and set Secure connections to Prefered.
Mine was set to Required, but after changing it to Preferred, the Plex app icons now work - and direct me to the Plex admin page. Not sure how that effects security, but I'm confidant in my network. Odd.
And thanks!
