PLEX & READYNAS 214 | Not seeing MacMini libraries?
Hi, With PLEX finally up and running on the 214 I have started to rebuild my libraries. It's picking up all media located on the NAS fine, but I also have a couple of USB drives connected to my M...

Hi,
Any ideas what I need to do to allow the Plex on the ReadyNAS to pickup media sitting on the MacMini drives?
I believe you'd need to share the folders on the macs, and then use ssh to mount those folders on a ReadyNAS mount point.
It might be easier to attach the USB drives to the RN214.

Thanks for the reply. I will likely go ahead and transfer the needed media to another drive and connect to the NAS.
Out of interest though, would you happen to have a link to a guide that explains how to ssh and mount folders on a ReadyNAS mount point? If I run out of space this could be a temporary solution.
Many Thanks

I don't know of a good guide. The basic concept is that you first have to share the media folders on the mac mini. Then you'd mount those shares on the NAS. The details depend on the protocol used for sharing on the mac end. Sharing with NFS would require different commands on the NAS then sharing with SMB. I'm not a mac user, so I can't help on the mac side of things.
mdgm could likely provide some more specifics.
It'd be simpler to put more disks/higher capacity disks in the NAS imo.
