Plex app on popcorn hour a-410

Hello,


I have a synology NAS 1511+ with a plex server package running on it.

I am trying to install the plex app on my popcorn hour a-410, but I get stuck at the setup menu.

The menu asks me for the ip adress and the port nr which is no problem.

But then it asks me if I want to use the “local player” (translated from Dutch so I am not sure what it exactly says on english models).

It also asks me if I want to use the SMB path and if I want to switch background?


But the biggest struggle I have is with the “configuration file” button on the bottom.

If I press this, I get 2 options:

  • choose configuration folder
  • test current configuration


    If I test the current configuration I get an almost empty page and this doesn’t seem to do much for me.


    If I choose the configuration folder I get a new screen where I am being asked to browse a certain file.


    Where is this file?


    Hope you guys/girls can help me out with this!


    Thanks in advance for reading this…

I have a similar setup and did not do anything with the configuration files.  I think you can ignore those options as well.

Ok it looks like it is solved! At first it didn’t do anything when I exit this menu, but after I fumbled a littlebit with the user rights (still don’t know exactly what I did) and exit this menu Plex suddenly started. So problem solved!

sorry to ask for clarification but how exactly did you "install" PLEX on the popcorn hour a-410?

There is more to this...

If you want ISO files to show and play through PLEX on your A410, you need to follow the instructions in this thread on the cloudmedia site:

Hey guys sorry I jumped the gun on the PLEX app. So I got it all working but when I went to access PLEX on the A-410 it said "No data found" has anyone had this happen and if so is there a fix/reason? I went so far as to reset the A-410 to factory defaults and set it all up again same issue still persists.
