Plex is now installed on your DSM 7 Beta equipped NAS System. Step 20 – Now the Plex Media Server Application will scrape all the metadata from the site librarys (rotten tomatoes, IMDB, etc) and fill out all the slick PLEX GUI for your connected clients to enjoy.Īnd there you have it. Step 19 – Then browse the directories (that you gave the Plex Media Application permission to access) and add the media that is appropriate Step 18 – Just head upto the ADD LIBRARY option and a popup will appear that allows you to select each Media Type Step 17 – Whether this is your first Plex Installation OR a DSM migration, you will likely need to establish the pathways for each multimedia file type. Step 16 – As this is a reinstallation of Plex Media Server on a NAS system as far as the Plex NAS app is concerned, the system may require PLEX to ‘claim’ the NAS once again, just head into the individual Server Settings and an option to CLAIM the server will appear in orange Step 15 – The Plex Media APP should be installed and you can go ahead and click OPEN in the App Center window OR open it from the main synology App dashboard
Step 14 – Head back into the App Center window and click OK on the Plex Media App install setup window Step 13 – Scroll down to the ‘Plex’ entry and give it Read and Write Access, then save the changes Step 12 – Then (IMPORTANT) Select the drop down menu at the top and switch to ‘System Internal’ DSM 6 7.0 migration setups), make sure that the PLEX user account still has Read and/or Read/Write Access in the tick box list Step 11 – If Plex has created a local User (likely in DSM 6.2. Step 10 – Then select the Permissions Tab In my case it is DS220PLUSSHARE – But it will be different on your own NAS device and based on your own storage setup Step 8 – Select the Folder that your Media is located in. Step 6 – (This is the NEW bit) Give the Plex Media Server Application Permission to access the media directories. Step 5 – Select Location of where the Log Files will be installed – Can be left blank and it will save to default directory Step 4 – Install Beta Application (speed depends on Internet Connection) Step 3 – Find Plex Media Server and select Join Beta Previously these steps might be needed by most people but were not directed by the application especially clearly, so having these steps integrated into the formal setup is actually quite a smart idea by Synology. Welcome to the future.Installing Plex on a NAS with DSM 7.0 (beta) is actually VERY similar to that of installing it on a DSM 6.2 Synology NAS, however, there are a few small changes in the process which allow Plex Media Server to access the correct directories.
Gonna post a local ad to find someone whos gonna come to my house and set it up, feels like 2001, when I had to pay the cable guy to setup my TV for me. I just dont understand why it must be such a complicated (for a general no IT exp user) pain in the ass thing. I thought it would be a easy transition process for users, just like with other apps on my Synology.but Noooooooooo. I would rather hand clean gory murder crime scenes for the rest of my life, before I go "code" some 987. So it led me here to this forum where I found out, that to make Emby work again, I basically need to "recode" HAL from Space Odysey, that is what it feels like to me.
Today, sudenly after a NAS upgrade, we went to watch a series which we planned to watch since july, I turned on the TV started the Emby App and nothing worked. I paid the lifetime premiere and was happy with everything. The first emby setup was a nightmare for me, and I know, that it is very easy compared to other IT solutions, just not so easy for me. For me, an IT "idiot", a plug and play solution was a must. When I was deciding which media server to use for my large video and photo library on my NAS, I chose Emby, because I liked the interface and eas-of-use.
