Is Netgear Readynas 202 still compatible with PLEX ?

Hello Folks,

 

Does Netgear still support PLEX server ?

 

Since the las OS update 6.6.0 Plex no longer works. I only bought the Netgear because it was compatible. If this is no longer the case, the Netgear will go !

 

Thanks,

 

T

    Just to prevent any confusion - I don't work for Netgear.  I believe Plex supports all their platforms directly ( from all NAS vendors). 

     

    But your response seems a bit extreme, since Plex says that their plexpass release already fixes it.  Likely this will be released mainstream soon.

     

    Personally I run plex on a pc, mapping the NAS shares to a drive letter.

    Plex supports the app, not Netgear.  Likely you already know this, since you appear to be posting on their forums too.

     

    This is what's on their forum

    To all users with the ReadyNAS RN2xx series NAS (with transcoder enabled Plex Media Server):

    We've noticed that the Firmware 6.6 version brought some under-the-hood changes that require tweaks made to Plex Media Server, so if you are running with this device and want to continue to use Plex Media Server 1.1.4 on it, please delay upgrading to Firmware 6.6 just yet. If you are a Plex Pass subscriber, The recent Plex Media Server 1.2.1 has a fix that again makes PMS run on the RN2xx series.
