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

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

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.
