plex server map media share from another nas?

Um, I don't think that's going to work, certainly not using UNC paths. PMS is built on the premise you will have it index and serve *local* data. Trying to stream to a Plex client this way will involve two network jumps and likely not perform the way you'd hope.

Most important is that PMS will not be able to access anything -- even if you "manually" enter the path -- that it coudln't if you were to ssh to it and try to "ls" that path. So UNCs are definitely a no-go.

If you really want to stretch the limit, you /might/ try NFS mounting the other NAS to the ReadyNAS and refer to the local path from PMS. Perhaps a Samba mount might work too this way. But performance will still likely suffer.

Would be curious if you actually get this working. But what exactly is that other NAS? Can you not install PMS there? Since clients bridge to the PMS'es using MyPlex, you can certainly have any number of PMSes, in the event your media is located in different systems.

Hi btaroli,

I got it working! :)

Yeah I couldn't get UNC paths to work on Linux but it worked for Windows Plex Media Server. Mapping network shares don't work in Windows either only UNC paths.

I'm using a Readynas Ultra 2 Plus just for direct play streaming no transcoding. Basically did CIFS mounting of my Synology shares to Readynas.
Every time I reboot my Readynas I have to remount, I'm not a Readynas Linux expert so I'm not sure on how to make it mount automatically on startup. I've googled everything I've learned. For auto startup some say don't put it in fstab but rc2.d?

Performance seems to be same as my PC I've jumped back & forth different parts of movie without any issues since it's only direct play streaming.

I have a Synology DS-410 (MPC CPU) & a Qnap ARM but Plex is not 100% ready yet for Qnap ARM.

So this is the command I ran via SSH on my Readynas.
mount -t cifs -o pass=password //192.168.1.109/Movies /mnt/Movies
mount -t cifs -o pass=password "//192.168.1.109/TV Shows" /mnt/TV

Synology's built in file manager allows you to mount remote folders.

Is there a Readynas add on file manager that allows mounting of remote folders or do I have to put a start up script some where?
