A small request for just-starting users such as myself: could you please update some threads with the information that (a) the user (used to be “plex”, now “PlexMediaServer”) is auto-created (b) the user depends on the DSM version? That would have saved me quite some time (as a newby to both synology on a DSM 7 and plex, I thought I had to create the user “plex” manually.)
I’m thinking in particular of Installation & Setup of Plex Media Server on Synology, FAQ 19: Setting permissions to allow Plex access to media files, and Cant see subfolders when adding media to Synology Plex server.
Many thanks!
