Plex and my readynas 102 and access

I did install plex server in my ready nas but for some reason when I'm trying to access it from my nvidia shield TV tells my that I have to update the software and I have the latest software iny ready nas, don't k know what to do next...

Now my other question is this, yesterday my modem atoped working and for some odd reason I couldn't access my nas from my laptop, do I need internet to access my nas? I tough is a storage unit I can access thru my network without needing internet, maybe I'm doing something completely wrong here..

Thanks all for stopping by
  • Can this TV access other devices on your network or the internet?

    Sounds like it could be a network connectivity issue.

    Probably it is telling you that you need to update the plex server app on the NAS. If you don't see an "update" button next to the plex icon (on the NAS admin web ui), you can download the current arm version from http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9. Then you should see an update on the "available apps" page of the web UI (per the instructions on the above link).

    You need to have a working local area network, but you do not need internet access. Did you try using the NAS IP address (https://nasip/admin, or \\nasip\share in windows explorer?).  Note the direction of the slashes, that does matter.

        Have you tried rebooting the NAS and your TV?

        Do you have PlexPass?

  • I will check when I get home and I'll report back to you, thanks so much for your quick answer
