If you are new to running Plex on a Synology NAS, these documents can help:
- Installation & Setup of Plex Media Server on Synology
- Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and How-To’s
Plex Media Server must be granted read access to the media files. See FAQ 19: Setting permissions to allow Plex access to media files and FAQ 29 - DSM 7 - Give PlexMediaServer access to your media.
Please show how you have the files named and organized, including which folder is added to the Plex library - directory listing, screenshot from File Station, etc.
You will also need to follow Plex naming and organization requirements. See Plex Documentation → Your Media.
For example:
/media/movies <-- folder added to movie library
.../Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) <-- movie_name (year)
....../Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025).mp4 <-- movie_name (year).ext
