You had everything there EXCEPT you didn’t give the PlexMediaServer user (the new username for DSM 7) permission to READ your files.
Remember that blue popup at the end of installation? It told you what to do to give Plex permission to read your media.
Now, I need more information from you because you might have wiped it all out due to not having followed the installation instructions popup.
You need to read two documents.
1, The original DSM 7 release information so you know what changed and why.
- You next need to read what I just changed as of 1.24.3.4973 in order to provide this new “PlexMediaServer” folder.
the TL;DR
-
Leave your media in the Plex share – That’s a good use for that shared folder.
-
The PlexMediaServer folder is for the server itself – only – No Media anywhere in there.
It will all become clear when you read the two above threads.
