I followed the guide released earlier today. However, I am still having a slight issue. My PMS sees media installed on the local NAS just fine. Playback is no issue there. However, there is an issue with my NFS remote mounted media folder. Before the latest update, Plex could play media from this drive just fine. The NFS mounted folder is located another Synology NAS. I have unmounted and remounted the folder to see if that would help, but it did not. I am out of ideas and desperately need some advice. Thanks!
I was checking permissions everywhere I could think to do. Eventually, I removed the source from Plex library, allowed to rescan and remove the media. Then added the source back to the library and it re-pulled in the media. Playback was then possible. Very odd, nothing changed path-wise, but it seems to be happy again. Thanks for the reply.
If you are placing media in the Plex share, this is a problem.
The Plex share is where I store Plex’s data. it’s not for media.
Release 1.15.4.994 places warnings in the directory in 6 different languages.
Media files themselves must be in normal shares.
To mount remote shares on the Syno for PMS use, you must first get the remote NFS mount to be accessible to all user (read only) -or- create a user ‘plex’ on the remote NFS server.
You next mount create a mount directory, perform the mount in File Station (setting it to automount at each start).
Lastly, you must remember to also give user Plex permission to read the local mount point directory.
It is a bit of a logististics nightmare but can be done.
