plex server map media share from another nas?
I have Plex Media Server installed on my ReadyNAS but all my media is on a different NAS. What is the proper naming convention I tell Plex where my media is at? Is it //NAS2/Media I've tried ///...
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?
