Plex Media Server not install on RN204
ReadyNAS 204 firmware 6.5.1 I've been running plex media server for a month now and it's been working great until now. Yesterday I was added content to my libraries, then went to one of my dev...
I ended up doing another factory reset. Once the NAS 204 was back up and reconfigured, I was able to load PMS Arm 6.X, version 1.0.2.2413-7caf41d, with plex pass on. So I'm back up now and copying content to my libraries. I'll just have to wait and see if this will last more than a couple of days.
ReadyNAS 204 Firmware 6.5.1
Well, I've decided to reset my NAS and see if it'll let me reinstall plex media server. I'll post my results.
I was just about to install and I noticed it gone as well. I too also downloaded the .deb file to try and install it but couldn't
Same issue here. Plex has been working perfect for 4-5 months. Then all of a sudden it turned off, i tried turning it back on but it wouldn't. i uninstalled it so i could reinstall it but now it is not on the available apps list.
I have installed the plex app off my computer today but it isn’t working, it doesn’t let me create libraries.
Very confused.
I was finally able to reinstall PMS and launch it. I started off by doing a factory reset on my RN204, which I now believe was absolutely unnecessary. All that did was create a lot of grief setting the NAS back up.
Once I got the NAS reconfigured, I went to the Apps tab and Plex media server was still not showing up. So I downloaded the file from Plex, downloading the ARM 6.X RN2xx, file name plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries-annapurna_1.0.0.2261-a17e99e.deb. Once the file downloaded, I uploaded it to the NAS. It failed with the same uninformative error message I noted in my previous post.
I had read in another post that the RN204 is supposed to use the PMS version of ARM 6.X and not the ARM 6.X RN2xx, that the RN2xx is specifically for the RN210 series NAS. So I downloaded the ARM 6.X (file name plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_1.0.0.2261-a17e99e.deb) and uploaded it to the NAS. Once again it failed with the same error message.
At this point I was getting frustrated. So I started looking at previously downloaded PMS update files that were in my download folder and found several. The file that installed without errors was named plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries-annapurna_0.9.16.6.1993-5089475.deb, which was the oldest file I had. (All the other downloaded files were newer ver 1.0 and failed).
Once 0.9.16 was loaded, I removed it, rebooted the NAS (found these steps in another post), then I was able to upload and install ver annapurna_1.0.0.2261-a17e99c. Now I need to mention the ver 1.0 file was the NON-plex pass file downloaded from plex. None of my previously downloaded ver 1.0 files would load. PMS is now launched and working again, although it's not seeing everything (movies/tv shows) it saw before... I may need to give it some time. I do have a plex pass account, and once I launched PMS and logged in, it recognize my account and immediately wanted me to download an update. I'm going to wait a while before installing any more updates because that's what started this whole mess.
I have managed to get mine working also, i downloaded the second file off the plex website under Netgear. Once i installed it i left it alone for an hour or two, when i returned i was able to make a new libary in plex and it is now collecting all the posters and info for all my files.
