Currently I have Plex running on a windows VM. I have a Synology 1019+ with Plex installed. But when I run the application I do not get the option to “setup” the Plex server. It acts like the client software. I just have not been able to find any support as to why this is happening. Can you provide some light into my situation?
I do not get ou will be greated by “Got It” (We found a server). But I am able to login with my plex account and then it will see my original windows plex server. I can manage my windows plex server from the url for my nas.
How can I get the NAS running as it’s OWN plex media server?
First off thank you for replying, I appreciate any help. Ok when I entered the url with IP, I was able to get to the setup, but when I turn off my windows plex server I do not get the setup in plex from the NAS.
Everything else I am fully aware of how to setup, for some reason I just don’t understand why the server setup option isn’t available. Does the initial setup require full internet access? Could this be a firewall issue?
Now I maybe getting somewhere. When I login now I am getting the following url http://x.x.x.x:32400/web/index.html#!/setup/ when I login to Synology and launch Plex from the DSM. But I had to login with a user I created with the same name as my plex account. Now I am not sure why I am getting the following message.
The second NIC is only configured in DSM and not active. I am not doing LACP at the moment or may never. But now I have set the configuration to DHCP even though is still shows disconnected.
When I login now I am getting the following url http://x.x.x.x:32400/web/index.html#!/setup/ after launching Plex from the DSM. But I had to login with a user I created in DSM with ADMIN and PLEX read/write access. After opening the app and starting plex I get the following message.
How does plex tie the read/write access in DSM to the admin account after login to Plex to link to app.plex.tv? Which account do I login with to run Plex?
That is a very good link. To be clear I have done this many times, but I bonded the port link you said, rebooted my NAS and ESXi server. Followed these steps EXACTLY and got to Starting Plex Media Server for the first time in the instructions. On Step 3 however, i didn’t get Read the introduction and click “ Got It ”.
