Server Version#:1.20.4.3517  
Player Version#:4.46.2

After being advised to not have PLEX media stored in the QNAP “Multimedia” folder, I have moved my media sub folders to “Plex Media” on Qnap.

After this move I am getting this Playback Error.

Any advice on how I can address this error?

Thanks!

You have to edit the library to point to the new location, then run ‘Scan Library Files’ so Plex knows where they are.

@jwlp

It would be appreciated if

a. One thread were used. Multiple threads , one for each phase of an issue, is a bit excessive

b. remembering to mark threads as “solved”

Thanks.
