Plex and Synology nas

I’ve been busy … Sorry.

I have found one problem.

Please get your media out of the PlexMediaServer shared folder

Create a shared folder called “Media” or something and put all your files in there

The PlexMediaServer shared folder is visible ONLY so you can:

1. Make backups
2. Get the logs if you need to in an emergency

It’s VERY fragile. DSM 7 controls it. I do not.
I can’t even control permissions inside the shared folder on DSM 7 anymore
(On DSM 6, I could fix anything automatically. DSM 7 prohibits all that)

You’re causing all kinds of problems with PMS because you put media where it didn’t belong
