Hello, I have struggled like everyone else in the FreeNas/Plex community with getting the Plex pluggin to see the folders created in the plex share. After much frustration and quitting for 2 days and coming back to the problem, I discovered a solution that works for me. It's all about...

In the Plex Media Server (PMS) (after setting everything up and add the mounting points) I go to create a new Library (in the Plex GUI). I start to set up a Library called Movies and it ask's for the folder that the media is in (which should be the folder you added the mount point for right?)...

Bonjour à tous, Je suis passé hier soir sur la dernière version de Freenas (FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1). J'ai voulu installer Plex dans une prison de la nouvelle version, or Plex n'arrive pas à récupérer les Datas des films alors que sa marchait dans la version précédente. Il voit les films et leurs...

I had recently updated FreeNAS from 11.1 to 11.2 and upon doing so I deleted the old jails and plugins set up during 11.1. I had a Plex/Transmission combo on 11.1 and if I'm being honest is basically the only thing I use my FreeNAS server for. I saved all my movies and directed the new Plex...

Hi. I'm new to FreeNAS and trying to learn. I've installed Plex and got everything to work when i put the movies in my movie folder to show up but Plex won't play the files for some reason. There is no error or anything it's just loading forever and never starts playing. I'm running wide open...

Hello everyone. This is driving me nuts. I'm a quasi-noob, so bear with me. PLEX has been fine for me working with the new IOCage jail. I have them mounted on an SSD mirror and been speedy. With that I went from RC1 to the new one that came out 12-05-2018 and after that PLEX just started acting...
