Plex is supported by the preview of DSM7?

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252
Player Version#:

I got this morning the DSM7 preview package for my DS918+
When trying to install it, I got the message telling “Plex Media Server” will not work after the update and I was need to wait a compatible version

I can confirm… I did NOT see the message about the Plex dev team needing to update before Plex being compatible with DSM 7… and now CANNOT install Plex to my Synology. WAIT TO UPDATE TO 7.0 until the Plex team can confirm that a new compatible server update is available!

I totally ran in to this issue myself, very keen to know when a DSM 7 compatible version will be released

Thanks Larry_Pieters to confirme my doubts
By chance, I postponed the installation of the DSM7 in waiting a clear answer from the Plex team

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll wait too :wink:

Morning everyone,
I’m already on this. I do ask folks not update to DSM 7 just yet so I may have opportunity to work out all the issues with it.
I am curious where & how folks were able to download the DSM 7 trial.

Hi,

As to where and how, you have to sign up for the trial and if accepted sent a link for the download.

I have only updated one nas and leaving my main nas for now.

Cheers

Thanks,
That’s what I thought. I was afraid it had become an open trial over the weekend,

If you signed in early this year, you can get the firmware here

Correct. That’s what I have too.

Thanks for confirming.

I hope there´s a version for DSM 7 soon.

I guess my wife is going to kill me, once she get´s home and Plex isn´t working :wink:

Thanks @ChuckPa - It’s really appreciated by all us folks stupid enough not to read the fine print on DSM 7.0 and who went ahead and installed… and are now Plex-less :wink:

I belive i can send U DSM7 if you give me your device name… :slight_smile:

The biggest change going on is the abandoning DSM 5.x compatibility.

That’s going to upset folks but it is what it is. I can’t support both due to the structure of the SPK INFO file.

Hahah this, I quickly created another instance on my Android Shield, library updating now! can’t blame anyone but myself for not fully reading the release notes

Luckily I checked twice before I started the update :smiley:

How SOL are the people who updated to DSM 7.0? :cry:

How SOL are the folks who upgrade to a PREVIEW release?

I think the bold warnings which DSM 7 installation posts before starting the upgrade say it all.

DSM can never be downgraded by us. Only Synology knows the magic incantations and passwords to their database which allow that.

luckily for me i upgraded my dev NAS so my main nas still fine, was keen to see if it would prolong the usage of the ds216j.
