Due to Synology policies the version in the Package Center is outdated. This is for all Synology NAS, not just the 220j (or at least all that use the 64-bit Intel build, not sure about ARM). For example, the Package Center version for a DS918+ is 1.18.5.2309, and the current version from plex.tv/download is 1.20.4.3517.
A manual update takes all of two minutes.
- Download update
- Stop Plex via the Package Center
- Install update via Package Center
- Start Plex via the Package Center
Settings → General indicates if an update is available.
You can subscribe to the Plex Media Server announcement thread to be notified when a new release is available. Scroll to the bottom of the thread and change Normal to Watching (the same as for any other thread on the forum).
