Synology DS218
Just got a Synology DS218, which has a 64bit Realtek processor. I’ve downloaded the 64 bit PMS package from plex.tv/downloads and am trying tomanually install though Package Centre on DSM. I get an error stating “This package is not supported on the platform of DiskStation or is incompatible with the current DSM version”.
Any ideas?

Putting on my “Engineering hat”…
Had synology opted for a processor vendor which included the ARMv7 (32 bit) spec, PMS would be operating in 32 bit mode now.
The AArch32 mode is an optional part of the ARMv8 architecture. All of the current Cortex ARMv8 cores implement it, but it is possible that an ARMv8 core won't necessarily implement it.
Where present the A32 instruction set is backwards compatible with ARMv7-A, so "should just work", although there are usually a few min…
@ChuckPa seems to be the Synology god on these forums. Maybe he’ll see this and render aid.
ARMv8 processors from RealTek do not contain ARMv7 compatibility mode (perhaps due to space or power limitations)
That said, ARMv8 is not upward compatible from ARMv7 packages on either Synology or QNAP.
If I may direct you to the ongoing Alpha test for the ARMv8 processors.
I suggest you read fully and also skim the discussion in the companion discussion thread.
@ChuckPA ) and @chrisallen have completed the building and packaging of aarch64 Plex Media Server binaries for the Synology and QNAP ARMv8/Realtek platforms.
We are inviting our users who have a Synology and/or QNAP NAS with the ARMv8/RealTek CPU (DS118, DS218, DS418, DS418j, TS-128A, TS-1635AX, TS-431XU, TS-832XU) to join us in final testing of Plex Media Server for these platforms.
Did you bring the …
