Plex on ReadyNAS 314 not visible to Plex clients
ReadyNAS 314 with 4x2TB WD2003 Firmware 6.10.5 I've had Plex running on my ReadyNAS for a few years. Sometime over the last year or two, Plex stopped distributing new versions through the Apps page...

By the admin web ui, do you mean the Plex login page that comes up when "Launch" button on the ReadyNAS App page is clicked?
After clicking Launch, I logged into the Plex web page. Plex reported that ReadyNAS couldn't be found.
FYI, ReadyCloud is turned off. There was a security report this week of hackers accessing Western Digital NAS's, and activating the "Return to Factory Settings". From the ReadyNAS command prompt, I am able to ping external servers.
Thanks!

Yes, I meant the launch button (or alternatively https://nas-ip-address:32400 )

Yes - did that, logged in to the Plex web portal which then reported that it couldn't find my NAS.
I'm thinking I'll try a fresh install from the downloaded binary. I've confirmed again that all prior instances of Plex have been removed.
Any thoughts?

Is it not showing it, or is it saying it is off-line/not reachable?
If it's not showing it, then the issue might be that the server needs to be claimed in your account.

Hmmm...let me try with a fresh install.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks!
