FAQ: Default Plex file locations
The Plex download page will have the most recent version.
Note there is currently an issue with hardware accelerated transcoding and subtitles in the 1.18.4.x releases. The root cause is a problematic Intel supplied video driver.
Until a fix is available, you can use the 1.16.x release in the Synology Package Center, which is not affected.
An alternative workaround is to delete the offending driver, forcing Plex to use an older driver (you will still get h/w accelerated transcoding). See this post for information on deleting the offending driver.
