Hello,
Ik have install plex on my Synology DS118 NAS.
Now I have linked Sonos with my plex account.
I see in Sonos my Plex client.
But when I want to search for files I see nothing??
Unfortunately, for YEARS Plex and Sonos both have totally ignored the MANY pleas from users asking for the Sonos app to allow Plex account users to search by FOLDER, as you can in the Plex app.
Many users of Plex and Sonos have recordings with no file metadata, so you see them all as Unknown Artists and Albums. The only recourse is the cast from the Plex app onto Sonos, but that means you don’t have many of the Sonos features that are important, such playing in multiple rooms. Since users with larger libraries can’t index their folders into the music library because of its lame limitation on number of tracks (60 or 65K - I have over 200K), you NEED a DLNA server like Plex to even have a chance.
So even though I have Plex, I have to bypass it and play my library through AssetUPnP, which has folder searches, but Asset only runs on my computer, I can’t run it directly from my NAS, so my computer has to be on for me to use my NAS files.
It’s all so lame I could spit, after the thousands I spent on the Sonos speakers and the NAS that houses Plex. You guys just don’t seem to give a s*
Any reason you can’t just tag your files?
About 100K files? I’ve been thinking of some way of doing that efficiently. If you have any ideas, about that, most welcome, but I think it would be a tad easier if the provider just let me browse by folder, would you agree?
