R9000 Plex Media Server Problem
I am having problems with setting up plex. I orginally tried to enable Plex with my USB WD My book attached however it never displayed the drive so I figured there was a problem. I removed the driv...
Ok, after many conversations with technical support I believe my problems are resolved. The problem it turned out to be the Titles of my partitions I had on my hard drive. If you have an & symbol Plex will not recognize anything (literally one title with the & symbol and Plex will not recognize any hard drives), however, readyshare has no problem with it. I ended up finding this out on my own by reformatting and naming it a basic name and confirmed it when I tested a title with the & symbol. I have been running it now for about 2 weeks and no problems.
I can see the drive under readyshare however when I got to the plex page on the router it says the drive I originally had no longer exists and I need to select another USB. The problem is i can't select another USB because there's itching there to select on the plex router page. Unfortunately the link you gave doesn't help because it assumes I can see it.
This is what is looks like when I first go to the plex serever area with the USBs already connected which Readyshare can see all of them but Plex does not. The second image you can see the section to select the USB is missing.
Still need help, the only other thing I can think of is to reset the router to factory settings.
