If your subfolder is missing like it is in the video, you'll need to configure permissions for the plex account to access your folder.

Synology control panel > Shared Folder > Edit your plex media folder > Permissions > Pick System Internal User from drop down > Grant permissions to PlexMediaServer

Thanks for pointing out that I not only needed the Windows version, I also needed the DSM7 version. I didn't catch that. Once I downloaded the proper version, everything worked.

[fntimeris]

thanks for the great and analytic content. very helpful.

There is a lot of Knowledge-gy on Brian's Synology 😁 I like your WiFi name 'FBI Surveillance' The UK NCA has been dubbed the "British FBI" 🫡
I like Plex for it's multi device usage & it has a lot of mods that can further increase its usefulness, Thanks for the Plex on NAS class Brian! 👍

[JediBuddhist]

Thank you Brian. It would make fascinating and excellent comparison to see the same process on unraid, true bsd, and perhaps a third os that plays well with plex and transcoding.

Is there a way to bring up the set up wizard again? I set up a couple years ago (different NAS, WD PR4100) but now I can't get access to those libraries even though my web access works

I just bought a DS223 to replace my older Synology box which died on me after 10 years. It doesn't have PLEX available in the package store. It does have Emby so I'm testing that one.

[frederico]

Thank you Brian. I had already a plex account, but I don't find where I can add my Synology content.

[yannloiseau]

Hi Britec09, thanks for your video, but I have 1 question : I can't add my library folder cause I can't find "add library" and I don't know why?

I'm trying to setup Plex outside my home network, so I installed and everything but since I used quick connect that's ending up being my Plex Url and I can not open the server link? Is there another way to make a Plex server? Best regards CC

[ruriijassem]

Hi i got amd i removed the drivers because i got black screen but whenever i install the amd drivers it says system has a instillation restriction

[BloodAsp]

Just gonna say, plex is awesome, but jellyfin is the FOSS version that I personally use and highly suggest.

Would this work if I use an ExpressVPN router I connect to and then have a Synology NAS as well or no? I know ExpressVPN doesn't allow remote access nor single dedicated ip's or port forwarding. Would this effect the remote access on the NAS?

[agelocjack]

tired many time when open it shows You may be able to claim it by choosing "Open Plex..." from the Plex menu in the macOS menu bar or Windows system tray. For more troubleshooting tips, see our . anyway to fix this?

[ChappyIT]

@4:35 this section does not appear for me. it automatically goes to and opens my account. where do i find the server set up option? i have searched everywhere. please and thank you

[braidensellers]

so did they take plex server off? cause i dont see it on mine and every time i try to search for it nothing shows up

[tugainbristolgaming]

Having a synology DS223J which package do I install? Sorry for this noob question

[mazzz]

I am going back to a PC for a Plex server, Cheaper and more expandability for drives. Synology here is $500+, i can buy a cheap PC for about $100. My WD NAS keeps getting error that the server is not powerful enough, so time to switch them out.

[seank]

If I have Synology Drive shared folder already is it or to point Plex there? I can move my music to a new folder if not but just wondering.

[SteveKile]

I have a DS1521+ running Plex and I have for a long time, everything works great EXCEPT I have a huge movie & TV library. When I get to a point some content won't play even though it shows up in Plex. It all works fine locally and the content is gotten in the same manner as with all the other content. I have checked permissions and they are good and there is no 4K content or anything.

The problem seems to be that Synology has reached a folder search limit. I found the page ages ago, but now that I need to re-run it, I can't find it. I suspect that the new versions are wiping the setting and restoring the value to default.

Any help would be appreciated.
