Just tried copying some folderrand files over as a test and the Owner is still NAS-8B-C8 despite the name being changed to ReadyNAS.
I wonder if it needs a reboot?
It's been up 1 day 7 hours and I cannot remember shutting it down after changing the Host Name.

I'd set Everyone, Users, and Folder Group here to Read/Write (and only depend on Network Access to manage access). I'd also disable NFS unless you have a linux PC that needs it. But I don't think this is related to your problem.
Is the plex app installed on your Samsung TVs? Are they newer than 2016? If they are older than that, you need to set "secure connections" to "preferred" in the plex server settings.
Plex has it's own DLNA server built in - if you want to use that, you should turn off DLNA in your share settings, and disable DLNA on system->settings->services. Note you would also need to enable DLNA in the plex server settings.
