EE Router + USB External HDD

Good evening all…
just enquiring as to whether my questions can be answered with a Yes/No and whether some advice would be possible?
I have a USB External connected to my EE Brightbox 2 Router.
I have set up USB Sharing via Advanced settings. I can now access these files on my Mac Network drive.
How/can i make it possible to load these files via Plex on EE TV on my External hard drive without having to have my Macbook turned on?
any help would be great!!
