ReadyNAS, Plex, and Sharp Aquos
To make a long story short. My ReadyNAS with the PLEX app installed and Sharp Aquos are in the same internal network (wired). If I go to the Aquos' DLNA menu and pick the PLEX Media Server many videos...
Well, there are potentially a few things going on in this post, some of which may be better addressed in the PLEX forums at http://forums.plex.tv/
I am indeed also curious about the PLEX version. 0.9.9.6 is current pre-release (for PlexPass subscribers) but I think 0.9.9.5 is available for everyone.
Despite it's ability to transcode the video on a particular platform, it should *still* show them in the library. Often PLEX will attempt to directplay without transcoding anyway, so in this case if the network bandwidth is good enough and the TV's app supports it -- I'm not aware Sharp platform has an app, so you must be using their DLNP client? -- then PLEX will always try first to drectplay.
Can you give examples of files that aren't showing up in PLEX? I presume they also do not appear if you attempt to access your PMS from the web or another client (like PlexHomeTheater on your computer(s))? I would expect so, but just checking. Can you tell us a little about how your library is set up, in terms of the missing files... movies, TV episodes, untagged "home" video...?
You mention that these files show up in ReadyDLNP -- well, I assume that's what you're referring to since you didn't mention it -- but do they PLAY? I can't seem to find that you mentioned that. Which also gets me wondering how their format. ReadyDLNP won't transcode, but if you you're throughput is sufficient they should stream OK -- presuming your TV's DLNP client recognized the stream format.
