Hi Team Plex, im planning to buy me a new NAS. I’ve the following QNAP NAS in focus: QNAP TVS-h1288X-W1250-16G I’ts running with an Intel Xeon W-1250 and the new QuTS hero OS, based on ZFS. I’m also planning to add an extra graphic card (MSI GTX1050 TI 4GT LP). Would this setup be caompatible …

Neither QuTS Hero nor a TVS-H1288 have been tested for compatibility with Plex Media Server. Being ZFS based, based on others’ experience with ZFS, is not likely to be a good experience unless QNAP has managed to overcome the problems inherent to ZFS. The W-1250 promises to be some serious fun …

Okay, thanks so far. QuTS hero is not so important for me. As far as I know, you can choose between QTS and QuTS in the initialisation.

While we’ve not tested the new system, I don’t foresee any issues with a “standard 64 bit Intel CPU on QTS”. The QuTS part would be the unknown. I did reach out to QNAP management and asked them to coordinate with our management (who will inform us on the NAS team)

I own the QNAP TVS-h1288X since a few weeks, it is a beast. Love the QuTS with it’s ZFS filesystem. It would be great if you guys could test it - let QNAP send some devices. A week ago I moved the Plex Server to the new NAS. The symlink was not created automatically inside the “PlexData” share, bu…

Thank you for that feedback. If you’re running PMS successfully , that’s a good start. The symbolic link Plex Media Server should be created in the PlexData share the next time PMS is started. (It updates itself at startup only). I would be interested in seeing any log output from it not bei…

I can’t see any errors. All commands are working. Is there something wrong with the start script? # Is the PlexData feature (NOT) disabled? if [ ! -e "${QPKG_DIR}/Library/Plex Media Server/.disablePlexDataSymlink" ]; then # If a shared folder, named PlexData, exists, create a link …

The script is fine. The difference appears to be QuTS Hero. We’ve reached out to QNAP. They will be providing us a unit to complete out testing on.

Thank you all for the feedback. I‘m looking forward to the test results. :slight_smile:

[image] ChuckPa: The script is fine. Are you sure? I tested 1.21.0.3711 on the old regular QTS NAS, and it behaves the same. The symlink won’t be created. If I change the start script to the code below (quick fix, elif works too), it’s working on both systems: # Is the PlexData feature …

It not working as of 1.20.5.3583 is news to me. I was not aware. I haven’t made any changes to the QNAP scripting. I will check that out now and report back ASAP. UPDATE: Something did change. I don’t know what yet. I will get this resolved and out ASAP. (I’m finishing DSM 7 work right …
