Which Synology model?

The NAS is running DSM 7, correct?

Use a private/incognito browser window (bypasses browser plug-ins).

Point it directly at your server: http://syno\_ip\_address:32400/web (ex: [http://192.168.1.2:32400/web](http://192.168.1.2:32400/web)).

Due to how DSM 7 works, clicking the Open button in Package Center, using app.plex.tv, etc will not work when trying to claim a server.

Also, note that PMS 1.21.0-3744 is outdated. It was a beta release for DSM compatibility. Unfortunately, Synology will not post a current version via Package Center.

You should download the current version from Plex, [https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-media-server](https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-media-server), and perform a manual installation using Synology Package Center.

Use Intel 64-bit. The AMD Ryzen V1500B is the same architecture.

Note the separate download for DSM 7. Installing the DSM 6 version on a DSM 7 system doesn’t hurt anything, but the install will immediately fail.

When you update to a current version, you’ll see a new shared folder, /PlexMediaServer. This is the [Plex Data Folder](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/) location, the equivalent of /Plex on DSM 6 systems.

Also, the Synology FAQ has a lot of good info regarding Plex on Synology: [Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and a few How-To’s](https://forums.plex.tv/t/synology-faq-questions-answers-and-a-few-how-tos/490215)
