Hi all,
Got to say I'm disappointed with both Plex and Western Digital with this product.
Western Digital Rant
Western Digital release this as a Pro NAS, they have a few minor firmware updates but no new apps added, not even NZBGet that was promised as available. Compared toSsynology and other comparable NAS devices Western Digital is really sitting on thier assess with this model. The only advantage they have is the fact that Plex supported this model with QuickSync transcoding even though other NAS providers use the same CPU.
Now luckily you can install apps using docker on your own like I have but it's not exactly consumer friendly. I have NZBGet, Couchpotato, Sabnzbd, sonarr, nzbhydra and PlexPy running perfectly. None of these apps are available from Western Digital... Shame.
Your ecosystem is only as strong as your software or apps in this case.
Plex Rant
Right so we now have version Plex 1.1.4.2757 which is great, release notes? Plex say they are not releasing updates for this version on their downloads page? Why not?
We have to rely on the PR4100/PR2100 to tell us, or hope someone posts a link on here, remember that blog with the advert, transcoding beast all that, well it should have said second class citizens on there as well.
I would love the new Plex pass version that has come out that lets you limit streaming quality and quality rate, when will it be available for this NAS, who knows Plex is as transparent as lead.
