PlexData share for QNAP systems

Plex Media Server
135

To all reading here.

Due to the number of issues being encountered, which to me are totally unacceptable given my zero-tolerance for such things, I will be discussing withdrawing the PlexData share for the time being in tonight’s team meeting.

I am working with QNAP to see if they can provide me a better mechanism to achieve managing shares:

What I need are:

  1. List shares on the system (see if PlexData already exists)
  2. Delete a particular share (an old PlexData) during uninstall.
  3. Add the PlexData share.
  4. Better return codes from their utilities. “Pass/Fail” is unacceptable.

What QNAP currently has implemented is a secondary layer of security AFTER signing in as the admin. There is no justification of a developer, such as myself, to need your password if you’ve already signed in and launched the installation. I “piggyback” on your authorization and either succeed or fail as appropriate.
