QNAP NAS - "This Site Cant Be Reached"

I have QNAP TS 859Pro with the Plex App installed within. When I try and access Plex I get advised This Site Cant be Reached error.

192.168.0.11 refused to connect.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

How do I fix this? I hav e 25tb olf media on the NAS so I naturally assumed the Plex Server should be within this NAS also? Do I simply load the Plex Server onto my PC and then direct it to the media on the NAS as a work around?

You have a semi-old NAS that went QNAP OS EOL in 12/2017 and are stuck on QTS 4.2.x (32-bit) software. Plex no longer supports that as of Plex Server v1.15.x (64-bit only) due to Qnap’s lack of updates to core libraries/etc.

Your BEST option is place your Plex Media Server on another device (Intel PC/NUC, ShieldTV, etc.) and pull your media files from your QNAP via a 1GbE hardwired ethernet connection.

That way you leverage what your NAS is going to do best (serve/store media) and have Plex running on a more current HW platform that will be able to leverage all the current and future Plex Server SW enhancements.
