Eastern… you may want to check both lol
just to add, for me all the links (for all platforms) still point to the download 1.4 for me in uk
Let’s get back to 1.15.0 not being available after update 
Let’s be clear. 1.15.0 beta on the downloads page not being visiable.
I’m working on the web site deployment pages again and will push world-wide in a bit.
?
I thought you were trying to collect info on why I could not reach the PMS service on my QNAP devices. I do not care much about download links… (though I understand that you do).
I had to downgrade to v1.14.1 to have a running system on both of my QNAPs.
So either the QNAP installer package is broken or not valid for my hardware, or something is hindering the PMS web server to provide my Plex web interface.
This is what I want help for.
Plex download pages? Second to that for me…
Or in simple words:
I clicked to upgrade to 1,15,0… downloaded that package, installed it on my QNAP boxes and none of these PMS worked any longer.
Can you please help me fix my problem?
Doing to two things simultaneously. Start one, switch to the other while waiting for the first to finish.
Okay? Plex Logs? QNAP logs? Info on software versions? 
Not required. i have resolved problem with QTS 4.2.x and PMS 1.15.0.
QNAP has frozen libc version.
QNAP has told us what to support.
I needed to trace back through all the correspondence and updates.
PMS 1.14.1 is the final build which will run on QTS 4.2.x with that processor.

What do you mean? No more updates for these QNAP boxes? No announcements? I just bought a second box and have about 20 TB of data on it… are you kidding?
No more DVR updates? No more bug fixes? WTF?
What I am telling you is how it is AS OF TODAY
This is BETA (Plex Pass)
It’s not production. It’s not final.
As is with ANY beta version, changes can be made.
I am communicating with everyone how its stand from where I sit as of today.
Should QNAP & management here decide otherwise, then changes can be made.
Would be compiling your own glibc (and other dependant libs) an option?
Pls See here…
https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=33476
Compiling our own glibc opens a whole can of worms.
I’ve done it for much larger projects on completely closed environments and it was still a headache
So this decision just sinks around 2000 EUR of money. just for the boxes (not to speak of hard drives) I don’t have the money to upgrade to new boxes.
This is killing my usage of Plex if nothing changes here…
Here is somebody who claims to have done it successfully on QNAP…
I am not understanding a word of this… maybe you can judge this better:
Compiling libc is not the end of the list.
Libraries which would need updating include:
- libc
- libcrypt
- libcryptsetup
- libssl
- libjson
- libthread
- libjpeg
and several more.
This list effectively would alter the core of the processing for the NAS.
At what point does the cost of supporting one machine mandate special treatment?
This model is sold now only as Refurbished.
The processor, Atom D525 was launched 2010.
Technology moves forward.
At this point, were I you, I would begin exploring the options of running PMS on another machine, such as a NUC, and let the NAS be the NAS it is.
When ARMv5 proessors were discontinued two years ago because they failed to meet the performance requirements of PMS (700 passmarks), PMS was much simpler then.
<PlexHatOff>
I am sharing, user to user, the 705 Passmarks of your QNAP is well below what I personally would consider acceptable. Most of the NAS boxes sold, even the cheap ones, provide 2500+ Passmarks.
The cost of technology has come down. The old price we used to pay, even though we paid a premium for it, is no longer valid. It is terrible but that’s how it is.
My best advice, assuming there is nothing which QNAP allows changed / does, is to keep your NAS as a NAS and transfer your PMS metadata to a new machine (a cheap nuc will be 5-10x faster at minimum)
Not having the data on the same machine as the PMS, what does that mean in terms of using networked Plex clients?
There will be the few extra MB/sec ( 100 Mbps video would be 12 MB/sec of LAN traffic ) as traffic is sent from the NAS to the PMS server.
If you have Gigabit LAN, you won’t even notice it.
The TS-459Pro II was released in early 2012… so unless you just recently purchased the device, this NAS is probably at least 5-6 years old.
