Plex Can't Find Music Files

Server Version#: 1.21.1.3776
Player Version#:

I recently installed Plex Media Server on Synology DS220+ and started backing up my music library. However, PMS can’t find any of my music files. Here’s an example of the log file.

I’ve already checked and my plex server has full access to my music directory and all subdirectories. Any idea what’s going on?

Unfortunately my server still can’t see the files. I noticed in the Codec folder that it only had files for h264 and AAC codecs. Is that normal or should it include FLAC, h265 and others?

/Volume1/Media/Music/Metallica/…and Justice for All/

The music library is pointed to /Volume1/Media/Music

I looked through the Plex folder where the server is installed to find the logs, and that’s where I noticed the codec subfolder.

Here are the non-verbose logs

Apologies, I misunderstood your instructions. I’m looking up if my router has any DNS Rebinding Protection settings.
