This works fine. No error. It does not say anything, but there is a new row, with columns "Jails: plexmediaserver_1, Source: /mnt/volume1/media, Destination: /media, Mounted? true, Read-Only: false"
I try to access "Plex Media Server", that shows up in "network adresses" of Windows explorer. I also tried to add Media in Plex Web Interface, which finds the server, but not the media folders.
Freenas doesn't allow me to execute the code, you wrote down. It says: "Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/usr/sbin/jexec 16 tcsh' as root on freenas.192.168.178.1."
Yes. This opens Plex Web Interface.
If you can access the Plex Media Server via the URL listed then your network should be fine.
Are you already logged into using "root"? If you are then no "Sudo" is needed in your command. "Sudo" simply allows a non root (Or "Admin") account to run specific commands as root.
If you see something like:
[root@freenas ~]#
Then you are root. (Notice the '#' sign)
But if you see something like:
username@freenas: %
Then you are a non-root account (Notice the '%' sign)
So if you see a '#' you do not need the Sudo command.
Secondly, when you log into the plex website using the URL above
Make sure you are on the "Home" Screen (Click the House on the top left corner to be sure)
Hover over "
Libraries" on the left column and click the "
+" Sign. You should see a page like this
Obviously click the corresponding type of media you are wanting to add, Give it a name and hit
next.
Then click "
Browse for Media Folders"
This is where you need to make sure you are selecting the folder that you mounted. The next page should look similar to this:
You should be able to find your "Media" folder in this list! After you add it, plex should go off and spend a few minutes (Could be longer depending on the amount of data) grabbing all of the meta data.
Have you already done this successfully? When you try to play the items does it give you an error? Or does it simply not show up after selecting the correct folder?
Also about your questions on IP addresses...
IPV4 is just the 4th version of the IP (Internet Protocol). This means that you have four octets of numbers to indicate a specific network location. 192.186.0.45 is IPv4, so is 231.7.12.113. The numbers range from 0-255.
The /24 is part of some different terminology. Typical you have three main components when assigning an IP address
The actual IP Address
The gateway (Typically your home router) IP address
And your subnet mask.
192.168.178.0/24 is simply a "Class C" subnet, which is also equivalent to 255.255.255.0
There is some math that happens, but all you really need to know is that the subnet mask simply determines how many IP addresses are allowable/assignable in a given range. And a Class C (or 255.255.255.0) allows 255 addresses.
(Take a look at

SO...192.168.178.0/24 typically means that:
You can assign 192.168.178.1 - 192.168.178.255 as IP addresses
