Adding A Network Folder On A Different Server

General Discussions

I have my Plex Media Server set up on it’s own separate FreeNAS machine on my network. I’ve saved movies and TV shows to that. I also have a separate OpenMediaVault server on the network that is specifically set up for music. Any computer can run itunes (or whatever) and the music library is on that server.

What I’d like to do is set up Plex music and have it access the music server’s storage, ie. not have to copy all my music over to the Plex server. I figured enabling network discovery would help, but I still can’t seem to make it happen.

My search-foo has come up lacking. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If your Plex server is running on FreeNAS, you may want to ask in here how external SMB fileshares are mounted on it: https://forums.plex.tv/categories/freebsd

Will do. Thanks.

That works on my windows machine, but I can’t figure out how to do it in FreeNAS, which is the computer my PMS is running on.
