Plex is the key to personal media bliss. Once you download our free and easy-to-use software where you store your files (usually a computer or external hard drive), it takes care of the rest. Plex magically scans and organizes your files, automatically sorting your media beautifully and intuitively in your Plex library. Plex may, but is not obligated to, update the Plex Solution with updates, upgrades, enhancements, improvements, additions, new or incremental features or functionality of and generally made available through the Plex Solution (as determined by Plex in its sole discretion), or modifications that are provided as part of product support and any.
This one wasn't completely obvious, but I think I've managed to figure it out. It at least appears to be working correctly, assuming it continues to work a bit better after the media scan is complete.
Steps for the Server:
- Grab the spk from http://www.plexapp.com/linux/linux-pms-download.php.
- Log into DSM and in Package Installer, install the downloaded spk.
- After it is installed, visit the website at http://:32400. It doesn't look like the shortcut that is created works.
- Add in the locations to your media.

Plex Server Download Synology Setup
Update 1/6/2012: The crawler has completed, and it does actually work! I also found out that it only supports TV shows right now, and not music or photos. Looking into it, it's just a webpage with a lot of javascript. If I have time, I may look to add music in, as having one solution for everything is a lot better than both this and DLNA!
