Updated to DSM7, Plex Re-Installed, Transcode Errors

On DSM 7,

The username , which is a System Internal User (not a Local User), is PlexMediaServer

The errors writing in /volume1/Media require editing the Shared Folder permissions for Media.

In this case,

Use this FAQ to CREATE a permission rule for PlexMediaServer to Read/Write just as was previously done for “Plex” on DSM 6

This FAQ shows “Plex” (DSM 6). On DSM 7, we now use “PlexMediaServer”.

You will see “PlexMediaServer” in the dropdown list of available names.

To avoid confusion in the future , it is completely safe (and recommended) to delete user “Plex” in Control Panel - Users.
