I am now having this same issue. Just after Plex fixed the DVR issue now I have this problem. I’ve storing my recorded media on this NAS drive for years with no issue. All the media stored on it still replays fine. I set up the recordings to save on another drive that is USB attached and not NAS and it is working fine so far. Any ideas or suggestions? Plex please help.

Yeah having the same issue since yesterday. Why would NAS not be working anymore all of a sudden ? Nowhere to find help because Plex won’t provide customer service (which is regrettable, big downside of their company).

Same issue here. My QNAP NAS has been my DVR recording destination for some time with no issues.

Agree. I’ve been chasing this one down for months now, every thread just has a dead end. There’s some hints, “someone said try this, someone said try that”, but no official support. You’d think for a paid product they would have a little more on the ball…Not sure I should waste my time putting a note in here, they don’t respond…
