On August 26, 2024, Synology released a new DSM version called DSM 7.2.2-72803. Today, September 11, 2024, the DSM 7.2.2-72803 version was recalled and replaced with DSM 7.2.2-72806. Synology mentioned that the version DSM 7.2.2-72803 is recalled on September 11, 2024 to provide clearer details about the DSM and package updates to avoid confusion. This issue is fixed in version 7.2.2-72806. I noticed that between the changelog of version 7.2.2-72803 and version 7.2.2-72806 a new item was added in the Fixed Issue area that states “Minor bug fixes“. No clarifications were offered as to the nature of the minor bug fixes.
Below I will guide you step by step through the process of installing the new DSM 7.2.2-72806. This update fixes multiple security vulnerabilities which makes it mandatory to install. Synology has removed the transcoding functionality of its own software. Transcoding on NAS is not affected. Before updating, keep in mind that the Video Station package has been removed from DSM 7.2.2. If you are using the Video Station package on your NAS environment, I suggest you move to another solution before updating to DSM 7.2.2. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby etc. can still transcode on the server. ⚠️Warning for Plex users: Any Plex version below 1.41.0.8992 will not work. Manually download and install the .spk Plex package version 1.41.0.8992 via Package Center. You will need to have a Plex Pass account to access preview downloads and download the latest Plex package compatible with DSM 7.2.2 or you can download Plex version 1.41.0.8992-8463ad060 for Intel/AMD 64-bit from the link below – For those of you using Plex in Docker, know that you will have no issues with Plex and DSM 7.2.2
