Plex Media Server not install on RN204

ReadyNAS 204 firmware 6.5.1

 

 

I've been running plex media server for a month now and it's been working great until now. Yesterday I was added content to my libraries, then went to one of my devices (tablet) to see if the new content was labeled correctly. Received an error stating the media server was unavailable. So I logged onto my readynas from my computer browser as admin and noticed the Plex media server was not running. Clicked on the launch button but the media server would not launch/start. I did not receive any error messages while trying to launch the application. So I figured I would reinstall the application, hopefully fixing whatever happened. That’s when I noticed that Plex media server was not listed as an available app on the application page. So I went to Plex website and downloaded plex media server for netgear, ARM 6x RN2xx. When I upload the file (plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries-annapurna_1.0.0.2261-a17e99e_armel.deb) I get an error stating Cannot install application …plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries-annapurna_1.0.0.2261-a17e99e_armel.deb.

 

Does anybody know how I can fix this, getting plex media server reinstalled? I suspect the reason I don’t see plex media listed as an available app is because it’s still installed on the NAS.

  • I ended up doing another factory reset. Once the NAS 204 was back up and reconfigured, I was able to load PMS Arm 6.X, version 1.0.2.2413-7caf41d, with plex pass on. So I'm back up now and copying content to my libraries. I'll just have to wait and see if this will last more than a couple of days.

      I was just about to install and I noticed it gone as well.  I too also downloaded the .deb file to try and install it but couldn't

        Same issue here. Plex has been working perfect for 4-5 months. Then all of a sudden it turned off, i tried turning it back on but it wouldn't. i uninstalled it so i could reinstall it but now it is not on the available apps list.

         

        I have installed the plex app off my computer today but it isn’t working, it doesn’t let me create libraries.

         

        Very confused.
