    Please confirm the version numbers. What happens when you try to start Plex on your NAS?

      The Ready NAS 312 starts up fine.
      When I launch the plex app from the NAS the plex software launches in the web browser but it can’t find the plex server on the nas , the app just keeps spinnng trying to find a local plex server. I’ve deleted the plex media server, restarted the NAS and reinstalled but no difference.

      Ready NAS 312 with Firmware 6.9.1
      Plex media server 1.10.1.4561-9de2951fc

      The only other item that’s strange (might be helpful) is that when I use the plex app on my iPhone I can see the plex media server on the NAS showing up but it says unauthorized next to the name of the plex server that’s on the nas 312. That doesn’t show up in the browser.

        I am having a similar issue. I download the plex media server from the plex website, upload via the readynas admin page and then nothing happens. It does not appear in my available apps. No idea what to do :(

        I also have a ReadyNas 312
