ReadyNAS 214 - Plex poster & background images

[CABird_UK]

I wish to move Plex media files plus the linked poster & background images to another NAS. 

I have implemented the Solved: Re: Accessing Plex Media Server Library Files - NETGEAR Communities However the assigned poster and background image links, are not present. I have hundreds of media tiles. The thought of having to manually, redo all the links is less welcome. 

Is there a method to install Pleex media to a new NAS with the image links?

That can be tricky.  Plex offers some guidance here:

FWIW, a few months ago I did this when moving Plex from one Windows PC to another.  It didn't seem to quite work, so I eventually did rescan the media libraries, and manually fixed up media that was mismatched (and maybe adjusted some cover art).

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

With an NAS device, you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Sadly there appears to be no way to submit a question for Netgear NAS 214.

Please advise. Thank you.

What does that mean?

It might helped if you found the right model number. There is no "Netgear NAS 214".

Look at the label on the thing.

My Netgear ReadyNAS is definitely  214.

Please see attached image.

I can access the Plex files and copy them to another NAS drive. 

The problem is the background and poster images are not attached to the Plex media (mp4) file.  Clearly, I have missed a file or the correct procedure to add the files to the new Netgear ReadyNAS 214. 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

The model number is RN214. It is not "ReadyNAS 214". Sadly, these computer things are unforgiving when fed inaccurate data.

So, ask for help with the RN214 in the right place.

ReadyNAS Cloud Storage - NETGEAR Communities

Narrow it down with:

Search - NETGEAR Communities – RN214

Search - NETGEAR Communities – RN214 Plex

As responses so far show, there really isn't much that most router users can bring to the party.

I have had to manually add the poster, and background image links. 

Thank you.
