DSM 7.0-41882 "Release Candidate" breaks Plex - Do Not Upgrade

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

ALL:

This announcement is let you know that Synology DSM 7.0, build 41882 (Release Candidate) has introduced breaking changes to everything we’ve accomplished in the Beta.

This announcement is to inform our current status and provide you interim Plex support.

  • Synology changed what is allowed in the package file definition.
  • This change breaks all previous DSM 7 packaging.
  • Further regressions (bugs) were introduced in this release by Synology.

Having discussed this issue with our management, we have decided to treat DSM 7.0-41882 as BETA 2 status.

Given Synology has informed of us plans to make additional changes to DSM 7 before final release,

We regret to inform:

  1. We urge everyone to keep their DSM firmware at either DSM 6 or DSM 7-41222.

  2. We are halting active development of DSM 7 packaging until Synology gives us a stable platform to work with

  3. We will hand-build packages when it is necessary, appropriate, and if possible.

We are working with Synology to find a path forward but, at this point, the burden is on them to provide a stable platform for us to work.

We will continue to support all existing installations as well as all new DSM 6 installations without interruption.

AGAIN, we urge you to not upgrade to DSM 7.0 “Release Candidate”.

Thanks,
C.
