Why not use the native Synology app? You’ll not have to fuss with a compose All the files will properly be setup for you in the PlexMediaServer shared folder. You’ll only need worry about granting PlexMediaServer permission to read the media files Secondary to that is what you show here. Given your docker compose file is not using absolute pathnames, it’s uncertain what you’ve done as `./plex` would normally be created as `/./plex` . The root (/) partition of all synology systems is only about 2.4 GB and will quickly overflow – creating problems. If `./plex` does end up as `/volume1/./plex` – that’s good. To the errors you’re showing; EAE errors are almost always associated with inotify table overflow (the table fills but EAE needs 2 slots per transcode) Give this a shot. If you don’t have enough media to even worry about it (e.g. less than 8192 folders) then I very much suspect you’ve been overflowing the NAS OS partition (/) itself – You could ‘brick’ it — leading to a complete reinstall of DSM. (your media would be safe but all apps would get wiped) > [@Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and How-To's](https://forums.plex.tv/t/490215/22): > > FAQ 16: Increase the number of folders Plex can monitor Applicable to all supported versions of DSM. When the Linux ‘inotify’ table fills up, this will cause when Plex to stop automatically detecting new media you add to the server. It will also manifest when there are transcoder problems with Dolby audio codecs. Linux has a default table size which is static. We can increase this at will. On some versions it’s 8192. On newer kernels, the default is 65536 folders. This is easy to incr… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-server-on-linux-in-docker-frequent-transcode-errors-when-not-transcoding/878790)._
