I’ve recently purchased a new NAS and wanted to do a fresh Plex install. I’ve installed Plex and selected my libraries but all i get is “There are no items in Library”.

FAQ 19: Setting permissions to allow Plex access to media files
Before beginning, it’s important to remember one key point; Plex doesn’t have any special privileges on Synology except for being able to access the Video Transcoding acceleration hardware. It cannot read any of your files unless you expressly grant permission. This is a fundamental principle of Linux (which Synology uses for DSM)
Because of how Synology grants permission, access to files is broken into two different …
Yup, think that was it. Always something so simple!
