Plex Media Server, Readynas, Apple TV4
Hi,
I have a Readynas RN104 with OS version 6.4.1. I have PMS version 0.9.12.8 running on it.
I have just bought an Apple TV4 and downloaded the Plex iOS app. The Plex iOS app says the plex media server requires updating.
I cannot see an update for PMS app for RN104. I tried to upload the update for the RN2xx however this did not work and now PMS does not run. When you toggle it on, it toggles off after 1second.
Does anyone know how to fix PMS so it is running again, and even better how to upgrade it so the apple TV 4 will work?
Thanks!

The Plex Media Server for RN2xx build is not for your NAS. That should have been clear to you from the description saying it is for the RN2xx.
It seems you have now messed up your Plex installation. Please remove the Plex app then install the ARM 6.x build from here: https://plex.tv/downloads
Please note that your video must be in a format where it can be direct played to stream it from the RN104 to the Apple TV. The RN104 cannot transcode.

MP4 is probably the best format for you. It will play without transcoding on the Apple TV, through the browser (plex web interface), and also on the plex app on an iPhone or Android device.
Thanks for the replies.
1) When I try to remove the Plex app, it says "Removing application. This process might take a few minutes. Please wait". This process just keeps on going, and the pop up box stays there. Eventually I have to refresh the page and the app is not removed. I have rebooted the NAS and still cannot remove the app. Is there another way to remove it?
2) Originally the Apple TV did not connect to the Plex media server app on the NAS as it said the PMS needed updating to the latest version. The ARM app for the RN104 is version 0.9.12.8 however the latest version is 0.9.12.19, which is available for the RN2xx. Does anyone know if the RN104 app is going to updated to the latest version so will be compatible with the Apple TV4?
Thanks for the info on the transcoding. Most of the media is already in MP4. Before trying to get the Apple TV4 working, I had Plex media server running successfully on the NAS and could view media using RasPlex on RPi's as well as on plex app on ipad and iphone.
At the moment is seems the RN102 plex app cannot support the new AppleTV unless a new app is released but it would be great to get my old version of the Plex app running again somehow!
Thanks.
