I’ve created a share where I have my home movies stored. I want to watch them on my Smart TV, but am struggling with Plex.
I have a ts-443, firmware is: 5.2.9.3451.
I cannot figure out how to tell Plex where the movies are so I can index them. I’ve run Plex from a PC in the past, but I now have around 300 GB worth and I don’t have the room on my PC. I also use the NAS for PC and server backups so Plex on the NAS is the obvious choice.
Like I’ve said in the past, after living for 82 years, I don’t track manuals too well anymore. Would someone share some easy to understand instructions on how to set that up?
Seriously, talk to me like a 10 year old! Just don’t treat me like one.
Well, I joined it to my domain thinking that’d be the easiest/best way to ensure drives were mapped. I was able to share the folders I wanted and map them from both Windows 11 and server 2022.
Started to make a backup of my PC, and 45 minutes in, it failed. The drive lost its connection giving me the dreaded red X. I checked the server and those mapped drives weren’t working either.
I rebooted the NAS and both PC’s and was able to map the drives on my Windows 11, but when attempting to access the NAS from my server I got an error telling me I don’t have permissions.
At my age, I don’t feel like I have the time, nor the inclination to be patient. This will be the 3rd NAS I’ve sent back.
Since I can run Plex, Twonky or Jellyfish on the server, I’m just going to get a PCIE Raid card to stick in the server and get a ventilated drive case. I had that before and it worked fine for several years, then the card went bad. It was a cheap card, so this time I’ll get a better card.
