ReadyNAS OS6 - Plex not showing as running but is (RN516)
I have a ReadyNAS RN516 which originally started on OS 6.0.3 but was quickly updated to 6.0.5, it always had issues showing the actual running state of the Plex server, and even though it shows as Off would actually be running (I.e. I can connect via DLNA clients and Plex client to the Plex service not the ReadyDLNA service).
I then updated to 6.0.6 and it still had the same issues, for other reasons I did a factory restore to 6.0.6 but again, after a reboot sometimes it shows as running and other times it doesn't.
If I click on run I get the spinning pop up window that stays for minutes, so I click on the browser refresh and it shows up as not running again. If I go to the command line and close the Plex app and then go to the dashboard and click on run it starts up and shows as running.
But rebooting again seems random as to if it will display as running or not even though it always is.
Any thoughts or should I contact Netgear support?
