This can be done in the All Apps section on your PlayStation console. I'm aware that I need Plex Pass for that, the main thing is now.If you’re facing issues connecting to your Plex server only on your PS4 or PS5, then we highly recommend you uninstall and reinstall the app on the console itself.

Otherwise even 1080p files won't all playback smoothly according to the info I found. So since I don't have the fastest NAS, I want to make use of that hardware transcoding capability. And that's that for hardware transcoding I can only use the app directly downloaded from the Plex site, is this correct? Apparently the app in the Package Center is only 32 bit? And the app on the website is the only version that is 64 bit. I did check some threads in this sub and I found some info I didn't know yet. But that isn't really convenient, so I want the media server running on my NAS obviously. I'm running the server on my (high end) PC right now and just login when I want a watch something. Recently I wanted to give Plex (yet) another try, because it should be so convenient. Nowadays I have a few Docker apps running, but I run into problems with a lot of containers getting them to work with my firewall.

I never used or knew anything about Docker and didn't have a time/energy at the time to dive into it. People advised me to go with Docker and that I shouldn't use Synology apps in general. I have a 418play and ran into some problems in the past with the Plex app from the Package Center.
