where is the Plex app?
Hi all, I went to the app list page but there's no mention of Plex! Does the app/add_on still exist? Thanks :)
You download it from https://www.plex.tv/downloads/
If you select NAS->Netgear and click on "download" it gives three choices (all OS 6) - x86, general arm and RN2xx.
Yes you have to get it from that page as StephenB mentioned. It was updated more regularly at that page anyway than it was on our Apps server.
I have an RN202 running OS 6.5.1 and just installed the Plex application after downloading it from the Plex site. I created a movie library and all of the movies along with the metadata is visible in the Plex app.
When I do to watch it on my LG TV (which has aUSB dongle to connect it to my network), it shows the ReadyNAS RN202 but when I select it it says there are no files to show.
I know this is a not a problem with the TV because if I fire up the Plex app on my Mac (which points to a different library) the movies show up onj the TV and play without issue. Also, I had previously installed Plex when it appeared in the ReadyNAS app list and it worked fine but had to reformat the ReadyNAS after that and now reinstalled the Plex app.
Anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts why the files don't appear using the Plex app on the ReadyNAS?

How is your LG TV connecting to your NAS, using a Plex client or something else?
Do you have ReadyDLNA enabled?
Thanks for your prompt reply.
The LG TV does not have a Plex client per se. The TV is several years old and has a USB dongle that allows the TV to joint the wireless network in me house. There is obviously some software inside the dingle that allows the TV to see media on the network.
I have tried using PLEX with the ReadyDLNA turned on and off and get the same results (no files are visible). That said, when Ready DLNA is enabled, both ReadyNAS DLNA and ReadyNAS RN202 (the Plex app) appear on the TV's menus as media sources but neither one lists files.
