I went to the plex.tv/downloads site and got the right update for ReadyNAS and installed it without issue. I was very impressed by it, and thought the Plex lifetime pass is not a bad deal, so I got it.
Although it took a while for Plex to catalog the movies I have, the ReadyNAS plays the DVD videos without issue on several devices, including my home theater -- so I'm pleased. I did notice stuttering when trying to play blu-ray content (mkv format) and think it may be a limitation of my ReadyNAS, although it played back well on an iPad (just not on the home theater). Not sure what would be the issue since the iPad has more pixels than my HDTV (Pioneer Elite Kuro 150FD).
Only one disturbing thing I noticed after several hours of poking around. In the OS6 web UI, when I select the System tab, Log button, and then the Connections menuitem on the left I noticed 3 or 4 IP addresses in the resulting list that are *not* on my home network that were connected as root. There were other connections as well, but they were all within my home network, related to Logitech Media Server and none were connected via root. This was unexpected and a bit alarming to me. Do you have the same occur on your setup? I know your setup is Windows and not Linux, but connections from outside the home network is what concerns me. What is the need for them and with such high level of access? I'm searching Plex forums as well, but haven't found anything yet. I've turned the Plex service off until I understand what's going on.

PS: I also noticed that I cannot run the Plex service if I’m not connected to the Internet. I wonder if there’s a way around that, or if it’s just a requirement when only certain capabilities are enabled in the software.
