Hi there!

Im running a Plex Server on my Raspberry Pi3 RaspbianOS.

The server software already works. I can find local files stored on the pi.

But how can i add my NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS) to the library? My NAS is supporting a lot of Sharing-protocols but im pretty new to Linux.  
Ive read about linking a local folder to my NAS but im struggling with that.

Can some1 give me some hints how to achieve that?

Thank you very much!
