Please do the following:

  1. Open File Station.
  2. Right click on Media & choose Properties.
  3. Select Permission Tab
  4. Make sure PlexMediaServer has at least read permission to the folder (Edit if necessary).
  5. Important: Check the box for “Apply to this folder…”
  6. Save
  7. Wait for DSM to finish checking/setting permissions.
  8. Then, in Plex, re-scan your libraries

If you do not see PlexMediaServer listed, then see FAQ 29 - DSM 7 - Give PlexMediaServer access to your media.
