Hi,

I have tried to update my old RND2000 v2, with new firmware and would like to run a PLEX-server. Now I have updated to firmware 4.1.16. Is it possible på upgrate to 5.x.x?

Have not been able to find a plex-version for the NAS. Anybody know where to download it?

Hi BR

I think StephenB has made a small mistake, there is a fan made web-site where you can download Plex for your ReadyNAS Duo v1.0, running firmware 4.x.

The URL you want is as follows:-

https://web.archive.org/web/20130910125628/http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Downloads#ReadyNAS_5.x_.28ARM.29_-_PMS

Please note, I cannot make any recommendations or offer any kind of support because I have, personally, never downloaded any PMS software from this site myself, I just became aware of this fan site when Plex announced that they were no longer supporting or hosting any software below version 1.0.

Good Luck

ukbobboy your link is for Raidiator 5.x (ARM)
There isn't one for Raidiator 4.x (SPARC)

  Sorry Bedlam1
  
  The PMS software for RN Duo V1 is for x86 cpu's only, I was totally unaware of this because my NAS runs an ARM 5.x cpu and I did not look any further.

  PS. I originally thought that all RN Duo V1s had sparc cpu's.

    They do all have sparc CPUs - as do all ReadyNAS that run 4.1.x firmware. And plex is only available for arm and x86 platforms - not sparcs. The sparc ReadyNAS simply don't have the speed or memory, and they are running a very old version of linux. So my response above is completely correct.
    
    I think you are confusing x86 legacy ReadyNAS (pro, nvx, ultra) with v1. The x86 legacy ReadyNAS run 4.2.x firmware.
    
    As you know, even though plex runs on arm and x86, the plex folks dropped legacy ReadyNAS (v2s running 5.3.x and legacy x86 running 4.2.x) some time ago. So current plex builds are limited to OS 6 ReadyNAS.
