I have already tried the reboot: I had already installed the plex version on the dsm 6…can it depend on this?
Thank you …
That is what I thought.
Let’s try this?
- Change session timeout value
- Sign out of DSM
- Sign back in.
- 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.
Are you installing:
- The DSM 6 package on DSM 7
-or- - 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
Here the message said :
Invalid file format. contact package developer but DSM 7 is working perfectly
Try this.
this package looks to work
Plex on progress for now
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
