With DSM 7, the username changed as did several other important facets. (required changes to make Plex work).

You must give System Internal User ‘PlexMediaServer’ permission to read your media. (just like with ‘Plex’ but now with ‘PlexMediaServer’)

  1. Control Panel - Shared Folders - EDIT the share containing the media
  2. Permissions tab
  3. Change “Local Users” (upper left) → “System Internal User”
  4. Check the appropriate box for “PlexMediaServer”
  5. Save the changes.

This is for the Plex share and grants full control, which you don’t need for media, but will give you an idea what to look for.
