Plex Server on ReadyNas Pro 6

Personally I run plex on a Windows PC that has the NAS volume mounted as a network drive.
You might try installing a test server on a PC, just to confirm that will solve your problem. Once you link the fire stick player to your account, it might actually find the older server (not sure, but worth a try).
Longer term, upgrading the NAS to OS-6 probably makes sense. In addition to plex, you will also new features and up-to-date linux (ensuring that you'll get security updates).

Yes I've disabled secure connections on both the ReadyNas server and the Fire TV but still the same error.
Annoyingly it works on IOS but not the Fire TV.
What might you suggest as a solution without dumping my ReadyNas?
Is there another media server I can use on the ReadyNas with a suitable client on the Fire TV or would it be worth updating my ReadyNas Pro 6 to OS6?
I assume Plex supports OS6 and all will be well. Just have to work out how I can backup 6TB of data.
