Then the next step is to create plex libraries that include the folders that hold the media.
Plex has some getting-started guides here: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200264746-Quick-Start-Step-by-Step-Guides

You need the plex server, not plex media.
Is your NAS running 4.2 firmware If so, the simplest option is to install Plex Server on the PC, then map the ReadyNAS media shares to that that PC (so they have a drive letter). Then you'd create the plex libraries, etc on the PC.
If you are running OS 6, then you could directly install the plex server on the ReadyNAS.

Go to https://www.plex.tv/downloads/
Select "netgear", and a bit later on you'll choose the "Intel" download.
You then use the "upload" control on the apps page to install it.

Thank you for your responds.
i have followed all the steps to install the Plex Server on my readyNas. i have created plex account and signed in. everything works fine. i think i am making headway. but the aim is yet to be achieved. My LG TV can now connect to the the shared media on the network, and i can browse through my ReadyNas media "This PC\FCBL_FILESERVER: ReadyNAS 3130" i can not locate the following folders in the admin page on the readyNas, Video, Music, Pictures and Browse Folders. it is apearing on my LG TV. To my Suprise, i located it on my Windows PC at Network Locations and named FCBL_FILESERVER: ReadyNAS 3130. i can not paste, write nor delete anything from the folders in there.
please, what else do i need to do to finish this up. please, let us finish this togerther. i really appreciate.
