Hi,

Ive been running Plex on my HP N54l running Synology DSM 5.2-5644. for years now but the recent Plex upgrade wont load :1.13.4.

Its currently running 1.13.2 ok.

Says the package is not supported on this platform of disk station.

 

Has something changed do you know, Ive tried the other packages incase its downloading the wrong one but still no go.

just had the same problem, package is not supported on the platform of diskstation,  trying to update to PlexMediaServer-1.13.4.5271-200287a06-x86.spk on N54L with DSM 5.2.5967 update 7

From Plex Forums

32bit Plex will no longer upgrade unles you install DSM 6, then uninstall Plex and reinstall the Plex 64 bit version, what a pain

Great thread, I am running (and have been for quite some time) DSM 5.2-5967 Update 6 , and got tripped up by this latest Plex update too.

 

I guess there will now be a whole bunch of us looking to update to DSM 6 ? 😲

The N54L will run 6.1 using jun's 1.02b loader quite happily, just remember to disable C1E support in the bios.

took the chance, backed up config and all my files and followed the tutorial exactly as written by Polanskiman at https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7973-tutorial-installmigrate-dsm-52-to-61x-juns-loader/ which went like a dream with no problems on my N54L. Did the updates to 6.1.7 Update 2 with no problems,  then uninstalled Plex and reinstalled 64bit version and everything now working okay, all files intact and lost nothing.
