Where do Plex DLNA client profiles reside on the ReadyNAS implementation of Plex?

Greetings.

 

OK, so the ReadyNAS 214 can now transcode. Great!

 

I need to set up some client profiles for my DLNA receivers (audio only here), and there's considerable debate(/deagreement) on the Plex forums as to where the client profile directory resides on different implementations of Plex. Anybody know where the (user - not system) DLNA client profiles go on the ReadyNAS (remember i'm using the 21x version)?

 

Also, where is the DLNA log file, that will give the names of my devices as they connect and start to stream, as I'll need to put those names in the client profiles.

 

Thanks all.

    In general for Plex for ReadyNAS:

    Plex system DLNA profiles are in /apps/plexmediaserver/Binaries/Resources/Profiles

    Plex user DLNA profiles might be in /apps/plexmediaserver/Binaries/Resources/Plug-ins-*/System.bundle/Contents/Resources/dlnaclientprofiles.xml

    • According to this the user profile is named dlnaclientprofiles.xml, this is the only one I see.

    Logs are in /apps/plexmediaserver/MediaLibrary/Plex Media Server/Logs

    For RN21x it's /apps/plexmediaserver-annapurna

      Thanks Siigna, that was (partially) helpful.

       

      Apparantly the newer releases of Plex have moved away from storing all profiles in a single file, to having individual {client name}.xml files in a directory. This, along with separating system supplied and user written profiles, presumably means any changes won't get overwritten when Plex gets updated.
