good morning,
with version 1.09 I have the following problems :
1 service plex constantly occupies 99% of the cpu
2 frequently plex on xboxone me to hang or library is not accessible .
I tried doing a clean install , but the situation does not change .
can you help me?
now I'm back to 1.08 and it works with all the limitations of this version .
CPU will always spike to 100% when it is first loading the library. Happens to me every upgrade, but always subsides. If it lasts longer than usual, I reboot the NAS and it eventually calms down.
I dont know about XboxOne, but the Plex App has never been reliable on my Xbox360. I use the native Video Player and DLNA to connect to Plex and thats working fine for me. Was hoping this upgrade would fix issues with the Xbox Plex App, but I still get the Server Unavailable crap.

Hi, thanks for the release.
I tried to enable remote access for Plex and it works until the nas reboot, do you know why it doesn't save remote access configuration?
Thank you.

Thank you, vtverdohleb, for your excellent work and all the support you give in here.
If I'm not mistaken, though, the download of this addon (and all the others, actually) is now dependent on a (not-so-optional) donation? I tried to download, was asked to register but when I clicked on the form I was redirected to some kind of payment circuit?
I'm not criticizing or pointing fingers, just asking for a clarification.

Hello,
I installed the whisker version 1.9 bringing the library .
But the situation does not change .
service plex remains 100 % with intervals of 30s to 56 % .
I noticed that strangely there is more the call to service phyton .
other note is the occupation of system memory that much lower .
but if you send the source version PlexMediaServer_0.9.12.18.1520-6833552_arm - x19.qpkg you can make convenient ?
or logs .

Hi all, I have encountered what seems a popular issues but I can't figure out what the issue is. I have access to Plex on my phone, but trying to get remote access going. While I can log into the Plex account, when I try to go to Settings > Server, and try to log in there, it tells me there is an issue trying to log in.
Everything was fine before, I was able to access Plex outside of my home. But I had to change my router last weekend, and also discovered there was a new Plex as well which I installed last night.
I have a DNS-320L with most recent Plex on it. I used to have a DIR-855L router, but had to change to Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router. I have tried enable/disable UPNP on the router, logged in and out of Plex and what seems every other options I can find. With the new router the IP of NAS/Plex changed, but I have re-set the IP to stay permanently.
Pretty sure my settings are correct:
Under the NAS - port forwarding is set as Service=FTP, Protocal = TCP,Internal/external = 21.
Under the router - port forwarding is Service = FTP, External/Internal Start Port = 20,External/Internal End Port = 21. Service = Plex, Ex/Internal Start = 32400, Ex/Internal End = 32400.
Checking the port 32400, it shows it is open. I know I should go to the remote access under Plex and manually set the port, but problem is it won't let me log in there to save the setting. Anyone know what the issue is preventing me from logging in? I

I was trying to get Plex working on my 320L and my new Apple TV, but I'm getting an error through the official Plex app stating that I need to upgrade, you've been REALLY great at releasing these, but I also don't know how long it usually takes for you to get everything up and going. Do you think it would happen in the next few weeks? I'd love it if the answer was yes :)
Again, thanks for all you do!

Hey,
I'm running this version of Plex on my 320L however it says I need to update to 0.9.12.18 - Do we know when this will be available as I can no longer use Plex with the smartphone app because it needs updating,
Thanks

Hi:
I have these limitacions in last release:

is able to decode 1080 mkv?

Tired of repeating - this NAS transcoding is not possible. Hardware limitations. It will be on the new models. In the current model is only possible offline transcoding.
-
so I have to get a new one model if I want mkv.
Which models support this feature with 2 bays and with 4 bays please
And the most important question:
I have 1 hdd 3tb in my dns 320l. I hope it would not be such easy as "get out the hdd from dns 320 and move physically to the new one dns model called XXX in order to get the hdd working as file server?
I am not worried about apps because I can reinstall them all again..but file format is compatible from dns 320l to a better model without reformat?

Of course, I was not expecting you would. The 320L is new to me and I just didn't know if it might be coming within a few weeks.
You do all of this and ask very little. It is incredibly appreciated, and I don't think any of us would be right to insult you by asking for it to be updated right now.
Again, thank you for all you do.

I personally do not use Plex. What is interesting to me to update it as often?

It wouldn't be necessary, but I guess the Plex server interface, at least on the new Apple TV, requires the current version of Plex to be installed on the server.
I was able to call from Plex, and use SimPlex, but when I would try to use the official version, which offers far more options, it tells me that the current version of Plex is out of date and needs to be updated, it won't even run, which is really frustrating.
I doubt there's much difference between the old versions and the new, but there doesn't seem to be a way to bypass its requirement.

Hi,
once this add on has been updated I would like to know how you do the update. the detail of you download xx from Plex site and you do X and Y to the package then you can upload to your box.
Thanks

Same here, I have the "need to upgrade", I guess as more people buy the new AppleTV the new update of the Plex add on will be more and more appreciated, The new Plex app for the Apple Tv does work quite well (very nice to navigate with the siri remote).
There are a couple of things that I haven't understood about plex on the Dlink 320L: since transcoding is not possible what video files can I play from the 320L to the Apple TV through LAN and what I cannot play?. Also,what is offline transcoding?
If it's only possible to play .mp4 (no AVI, no mkv), then I think I would have to look for replacing the 320 L
Many thanks,

You are learning a lesson and a hard one (and I must remind myself I'm not allowed to criticize D Link or it's devices.
That said and as vtverdohleb and me and many others have said previously the 320L cannot transcode basically meaning whatever device you are streaming to can only "use" file types that the device "will play"
example if your tv or media player only supports avi and mpeg2 then you can only stream those files types.
To make my 320L more user friendly I have the same version of kodi installed on an android tv box (main use), my pc + a tablet and mobile (hardly used now). The database is stored on the 320L and the android tv box with kodi can play almost any media I've thrown at it.
Plex is a poor man's (but paid for premium) version IMHO of kodi - you can do much, much more with kodi (free) than Plex.
And if you want vtverdohleb to upgrade Plex why not show him some well deserved appreciation by paying (donating) for his efforts because without vtverdohleb your D Link would be absolutely abysmal IMHO. vtverdohleb does all this as a sideline/hobby and big respect to him.

Infuse, VideoExplorer, NAStify all work to stream to the Apple TV with no transcoding required.
Plex is now mainly for the channels, but that's only for the official app and Simplex doesn't work for it.
Infuse will be out in a few months, and ties in beautifully to the 320/320L
As for getting a NAS that CAN transcode, get ready to shell out multiples of hundreds more to find a capable device. They aren't easy to find and often require a lot more to get up and going.
The 320L is a nice, well built and sturdy machine. Transcoding isn't necessary because the previous gens had no problem playing 30+ gig files with ease, now you get that and don't have to jailbreak. To me that's pretty fantastic considering the device is cheap as dirt.
I have mad kudos to the dev who is making this happen for us, I have multiple add one that he's created and saved me from having to do command line installs, that is huge for me.

The 3rd gen isn't really a part of the discussion, as it only offers stock apple apps, I'm pretty sure the person above was talking about the new Apple TV that can have 3rd party apps installed separately from the OS.
As I mentioned, the apple tv 2, that I have Jailbroken, can play damn near anything I throw at it. The ATV3 probably can as well, but there's no way to directly stream files natively, and you can't install an app that can do that, so it would have to be done on something like an iPad or iPhone, either with a server based app where the transcoding is done on a computer (Air Video, PLEX, etc.) or something like Infuse which can hook into the processing of the device (iPad or iPhone) and airplay that to the TV. The same would apply for the Apple TV 3.
So if you have a player (like the many I mentioned that are available on the app store) then the Apple TV 4 (the current one that can install apps) is able to do the work and transcode pretty much anything.

The Apple "standard" only for his fans. And if 90-95% of the other devices are working correctly is problems Apple.
p.s. I personally don't like apples ;)

I think you misunderstand, everything is fine but Plex requires the most current update to work, I wasn't able to get anywhere on any of my devices, Windows or otherwise.
I do agree Apple is very restrictive with a lot of their things, but I honestly don't mind it. I did 8 years ago, but now I'm happy with what I've got :)

Many thanks for all your comments and inputs.
I have tried video explorer and I can access the plex server on the 320L and play all types of files (mkv, AVI, etc) , what proves that the Apple TV is able to play them without the need of transcoding.
As a matter of fact, the latest update for the plex server has a one of the main features to improve direct play on the Apple TV :
Version 0.9.12.19.1537
Improvements
Improved subtitle handling on Apple TV
Improved Direct Play support on Apple TV
This would solve all the problems, as on the one hand we get the nice features of Plex and on the other hand we avoid transcoding, which has a loss in quality, even if the 320L could handle it (which can't).
Video explorer and the other video apps have a very poor organization and presentation systems.
I'm ready to donate to vtverdohleb together with other users interested in the new update.
There is still one thing I don't quite get yet: when I try to play videos from the plex server on my computer I get the message "your server doesnt have the power to transcode", why doesn't play it directly?, the computer can sure take any encoding. Is it a problem with the web player? are there any apps to play the files directly from the plex server?
Thanks again, cheers
-
Plex is restrictive. If you notice it's using apples native player, which allows for a lot more flexibility.
But the comment about direct play is answered in what you posted, the LATEST Plex server version, the one currently available for the 320L is .13, you need .19.
This will all be moot shortly, to be fair. Infuse is on the cusp of coming out and has far better organization, full metadata lookup and so on. It's a full streaming media solution compared to any of the current players, and it has the ability to be a lot more flexible with lookups than Plex.
All and all it ends up not requiring ANY server running. Just make sure your main drives are shared and infuse allows you to create favorites.
That said, Plex is still a good solution for channels, which honestly can't be beat. It's the only way to watch certain online programs, and is really awesome.
Thankfully we have vtverdohleb that is able to make it happen, and we cannot thank you enough.

Infuse is finally out, I've been trying it for a few days and can play just anything without the need of a server running, I have the 320L as file storing device but I can even use a hard drive connected to the router with the same results. Comparing the two I would say that:
Plex:
+ Better browsing of movies and shows; abstracting from file system.
– Since mi 320L Plex version is not compatible (yet) with the AppleTV I have to keep a mac book running as a server.
+ Completely free, including AC3 passthrough.
+ Can delete files from the server using the client.
Infuse:
– Manual browsing through folders.
+ I can connect HDD to my router directly and ditch a server.
– Can’t watch anything with AC3 without paying.
– Looks like there’s no option to delete files.
It would be nice,though, to have a version of Plex for the 320L compatible with Apple TV, I guess that Infuse will improve over time, but right now I prefer Plex.
vtverdohleb, are you planning on releasing a 320L plex compatible add on in the near future??
thanks in advance for your efforts
