Plex Media Server - Synology DSM 7 Preview - Issues ( Archive )

I have already tried the reboot: I had already installed the plex version on the dsm 6…can it depend on this?

@mata1977

What is the translation of that text to english please?

My Italian is a bit rusty

edit:
I changed browser and now it loads

Thank you …

That is what I thought.

Let’s try this?

  1. Change session timeout value
  2. Sign out of DSM
  3. Sign back in.
  4. Attempt install immediately

Additional: You are using the Administrator privileged account (the main account) ?

I changed browser and now it loads: °), I changed the permissions and installed. But now, if I try to log in, it says “you don’t have access to this server”

which server? Plex? DSM ?

Please don’t skip any details.

If it’s Plex, did you complete the DSM 6 migration instructions to transfer your server or is it trying to setup a new server under DSM 7?

The DSM 6 migration is very clear in showing you that it completed properly --OR-- what work you have yet to complete.

is the Synology 1517+ no longer supported? :’(

I have been able to install Plex on DSM 7 successfully, but I initially couldn’t access any media because I didn’t complete step 7 “Repeat steps 2-6 for each share you want Plex Media Server to access”. I initially only applied it to the listed folder…

Looking at some of the feedback here, I am guessing that some folks have missed that step as well.

My advise: Be patient. Follow each step and you will be successful.

I also wanted to share one observation: While my DSM SMB performance seems to have slightly increased, I found that my Android TV’s player performance seems to have slightly degraded (some video stuttering). That said, everything still plays fine on Kodi.

This is a functionality beta.
DSM in beta state means any sense of performance measurement is moot.
We will have a much better metric when it is “Release Candidate” status.
Forgive me? Kodi is Off-Topic here.

Hi, Chuck
I have a problem with installing the package for DS 218 play

@wawadoo

Are you installing:

  1. The DSM 6 package on DSM 7
    -or-
  2. The DSM 7 package on DSM 6

“Invalid format” is the message Package Center prints when the DSM version does not match.

It will say “Incompatible” when the file is not for this host.

To DSM 7 preview ==> DSM 7 beta

try a different browser to download?

Forgive my french? “The file format is invalid” ?

This is what I get installing DSM 6 SPK on DSM 7

@jaburges1

X86_64 build will work for you .

The C2538 (same as my DS1815+

@wawadoo

Try this.

https://artifacts.plex.tv/testing/1.21.0.3744-d87012962/synology-dsm7/PlexMediaServer-1.21.0.3744-d87012962-aarch64_DSM7.spk

this package looks to work

Plex on progress for now

@wawadoo

I suspect you were downloading from the Downloads page???

If you were, those are for DSM 6 only.

The only packages for DSM 7 have DSM7 in their name.

yes I had uploaded from the plex page
I’ll let plex work and I’ll come back and give news
