Running Plex on a ReadyNAS Ultra Plus?
Hello I'm a complete beginner when it comes to NAS, but as I have a lot interest in movies and home theater I have decided to try to set up a NAS to run a media server. When looking into it, Netgea...
I cannot get Plex to do anything...when going to the media manager web front end I click Movies, then click Add to add the location of the media folder on my ReadNAS. I've tried just adding the top level video folder or the more specific directories I have inside of it, for example "HD TV" or "SD TV" but nothing scans and/or nothing happens when I click Add Section.
One thought I have is that somehow (hoping this isn't the case) is that because I have sub-directories in the Video folder and Plex doesn't get it. If this is the case this would be pretty disappointing because I just don't want to have all my different types of video "thrown together" on my NAS. When I was using my iMac as the main store and using the Plex App the media manager and server had no issues with my sub-directory specifics-I just had to have each one added and scanned separately.
I have Radiator 4.2.21 on a Ulta Plus 4 bay ReadyNAS. The version of the Plex add-on is 0.9.6.3.143-4466fb5.
If anyone could shed some light on why it's not doing anything that would be great. Thanks in advance.
