Plex Says ReadyNAS needs Update

I need to update my ReadyNAS 102's Plex Server.  When I open Plex and go to settings > server there is a message that there is an update and to manually update it.

 

If I click on the link of the update the following file begins to download.  It appears to be a zipped file.

 

plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_0.9.12.8.1362-4601e39_armel.deb

 

Where should I extract file and what do I do with it after it is extracted?

 

Thanks

  • On the Apps page, you should see an Upload button at the top right just to the left of the Refresh button. Click on the Upload button, browse for the .deb file and upload it. It will update the app to the new version.

    The normal way is to go into the NAS admin UI and click on the apps page.  Normally there would be an "update" button there.

      The apps page: listing installed apps ( Plex ) does not have an update button available.

       

      Plex app currently running is 0.9.12.1.1079-b655370

       

      Plex is requesting 0.9.12.8.1362-4601e39

       

      Should I remove the current app and reinstall?

       

      If I do will all of my links break?

       

      I'm running PlexConnect with ATV3

       

      Thanks

        Do you need the update right away for some reason?
