Player Version#: 3.77.4
I have installed a new PMS on a Raspberry Pi 3+ with Debian Stretch Minimal, with this tutorial:
I have also a Synology DiskStation DS918plus and a NFS-Share for my media.
When I want to mount the media like this:
sudo mkdir /plexmedia
sudo chmod -R 775 /plexmedia
sudo nano /etc/fstab
#######
add one line
192.168.1.4:/volume1/Medien /plexmedia nfs auto,defaults,nofail 0 0
#######
After a reboot I can see the folders of my synology share, but PMS shows me an empty folder?!
Check out the Linux guide in the tips&Tricks section. There you’ll find an instruction on how to mount the drive so it’s not only available for the current user (you, when mounting during operation; root when mounting during boot) but also for the user representing plex!
I wonder if u could help me be able to use my nfs server on win. 10 to run for the plex app in kodi, so I can get it to play videos ok. they stop playback & freeze when I fast forward but are fine when going through kodi to my nfs server folders. nfs is from hanewin. What do I put in the nfs settings for a path, is it the web address in my firefox when plex is open?
You need to enable CIFS / SMB protocol on the machine where the NFS server is.
This is because Windows doesn’t speak NFS without third-party applications.
Most NFS systems will support SMB/CIFS by adding the appropriate package(s) or enabling the support if a NAS like QNAP or Synology.
Using the software you reference, it appears you’ll either need to create the username plex on your NFS server (the easiest) and grant RO access -or- grant RO to everyone.
Thanks for answering me. I am pretty lost but I will see if win. 10 has that cifs/smb option. I have the regular version of windows. What does RO mean? maybe I need this dumbed down for me. I will try later on. Also I don’t use NAS like QNAP or Synology I have my files on a 2nd internal hdd on my main tower that I share through nfs.
Normal Windows sharing uses the CIFS / SMB protocol.
You will need to add CIFS package to your Linux system to support a Windows client to connect to it.
Windows will see it as a Network Server and “map” the drive (the exported share)
thanks but still lost, I don’t have Linux but I know how to map network drive. if I was able to do this will it make fast forward just as fast as using nfs in kodi? I even tried plexkodiconnect plugin & still slow fast forwarding.
Are you looking for the Kodi forums or the Plex forums?
If you say you tried the Plex-for-Kodi plug-in, you’re definitely still in need of the Kodi team’s help to deal with Kodi issues such as network mounts.
It took a min. but u r right it probably is kodi because regular plex fast forwards 10 sec. at a time & is very different. Thanks for helping me clear that up.
