PLEX CLI install on Synology DSM7

In DSM6 in order to successfully install a Plex install package on the command line you first had to add the Plex key to package manager.

On DSM7 there does not appear to be a way to add a third party key. Will I be able to install the Plex package through the command line without getting an error?

This is needed for an auto update script I am running under DSM6.

DSM 7 does not sign packages anymore except when distributed by Synology.

It’s in their release notes / SDK somewhere.

@trumpy81 is working with the update script folks to make one compatible for DSM 7

Thanks for the quick response

So just checking that using the command

/usr/syno/bin/synopkg install xxxxx.spk

Will not work right now for DSM7 because the package will not be signed by Synology as you indicate

Awesome so we are talking about the same script :blush:

I see that the script code posted there uses the command
./usr/syno/bin/synopkg install “$SPUSFolder/Archive/Packages/$NewPackage”

So it has been confirmed that this will succeed even though the Plex key is not added to DSM7 package manager?

Ooo… My curiosity is peaked.

What would the correct command be to use under DSM7?

I have a spare Synology DS920 I have cloned from my main system (made it exactly the same down to every setting) and upgraded it to DSM7 and am now using it to play around with including PLEX and all of the scripts I use.

As such I would be happy to help test the updates to the script you wrote and supplied to the author as it is a 100% test bed system only.

Understood, thanks for all your support, looking forward to seeing the updated script
