Synology Package Source

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, i tried to post in synology category but while I can see the option in the drop list it wont let me actually choose it, couldnt find an answer as to why.

I’m running Plex on my DS1815+ I’m finding recently on several occasions that while my server is running its not picked up by the client and I have to manually update to get it working again because the synology package center is very out of date, I appreciate this is beyond your control at plex but this is a sucky experience when it has to be done fairly regularly just to stay compatible and working. I bought the synology specifically because plex was supported. If I want to put a movie on to watch in bed, getting out of bed to go sit at the PC and update the plex server is not quite the experience I was hoping for.

Since you cant control the synology package store, I would ask if plex would consider making the updates available to synology package center by publishing the file in way that can be used as a custom package source.

Helpfully someone has published an example php file that supplies output compatible with package center, it can be found on github at https://github.com/jdel/sspks
