This package requires DSM 7.0-40000 or older

Hey all

I am running a DS918+ with Plex server

Current DSM Version: DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5
Current Plex version running: 1.29.2.6364-7000

I went to the Plex site to check if there was any newer version as I am finding it just freezes on some shows while streaming from the plex

Version that is available for download from the plex site is

PlexMediaServer-1.32.1.6999-91e1e2e2c-x86_64_DSM6.spk

Trying to manual install this package over the top of the current one results in a message being displayed saying
This package requires DSM 7.0-40000 or older

Seems maybe that Plex need to update their spk files?

or is there a workaround for this

Thanks Specter

You’re trying to install the DSM 6 package on a DSM 7.x NAS. Try selecting “Synology (DSM 7)” from the server download page.

Doh

lol sorry just noticed the Synology (DSM 7) in the list

Plex need to make this clearer for the users and the packs I originally downloaded said

Intel 64-bit (DSM 6.0 and newer) Newer being the operative word here as 7 is of course newer than 6 :slight_smile:

Anyway thanks for the reply, sorted

That’s a very fair point. I hope my reply didn’t come across as condescending. Glad you got to the correct release!
