I have a QNAP NAS that has all my music and photos stored on it. How can I add folder from this NAS to PLEX inside FreeNAS?
I can see my Movies and TV Show folders that are on the FreeNAS box.
Not sure what they are saying. So my other NAS is 10.0.1.200 and folders are Multimedia/Photos avs Music.
You need to mount a remote share on your FreeNAS, if you are using SMB on your QNAP this is what you need from that post:
create a directory in /mnt
mount_smbfs -I -W Workgroup “//username@/Backup” /mnt/Backup
This will mount a remote share named Backup on your freenas that resides on your qnap and map it to a local folder named /mnt/Backup.
That is what you need to do in order to present the qnap media to your freenas so that you can add it as a library item in plex.
Just change the /Backup and /mnt/Backup Workgroup username/pass to suit your specific setup.
I guess just not getting it. I can ping 10.0.1.100 so I know can reach it.
Did command:
mount_smbfs -I -W MSHOME “//admin@/10.0.1.100/Multimedia” /mnt/qnap
I get back:
mount_smbfs: empty server name
Also try:
mount_smbfs -I 10.0.1.100 -W MSHOME “//admin@10.0.1.100/Multimedia” /mnt/backup
and errorL=:
mount_smbfs: could not find mount point /mnt/backup: No such file or directory
Well using this:
mount_smbfs -I 10.0.1.200 -W mshome “//admin@10.0.1.200/Multimedia” /mnt/qnap
After making a dir in mnt named qnap is seems to have worked. However now since plex is in a jail I still don’t see the share,
When try command inside jail I get error:
mount_smbfs: can not setup kernel iconv table (ISO8859-1:tolower): syserr = Operation not permitted
Sorry I don’t use FreeNAS but looking at some of their docs I think you might just need to do what I suggested followed by this to add storage to the jail
