As I mentioned above use the Plex platform which my Mac Mini being the Plex device that links to the WD My Cloud drive. No issue in the fact that both the WD My Cloud and the Mac Mini both go to sleep at 10pm and wake at 7am. Everything works great. WD My Cloud & My Passport. Wherever you want to be, Plex can keep you informed and entertained. Plex Media Server is the software that allows you to stream your content to all of your devices, anywhere.
Hi all,
I recently bought the MyCloud so I could enjoy my video library without having to keep my laptop always on. I then realized that apps are not officially compatible with this device.
I managed to enable the 'Add app' button in the apps tab by changing the hidden CSS property with firebug.
From there I can manually install apps. So I downloaded Plex Media server apps from Plex website but none worked. I tried the MyCloud Mirror Gen1 and 2 version as well as Synology ARMv7 version.
Does somebody know if there is one version that would work or if somebody compiled a version that would work with this device (firmware v 2.x)?
I guess this is what we want for MCH.
