Hey everyone,
I'm setting up my first NAS and am stuck on setting up Plex. That said I also have to mention that I'm only used to Windows and FreeBSD/TrueNAS are completly new to me.
I installed it using the standard basic plugin installer, received no errors while doing so, but when I try to modify it I just receive a prompt to login using my plex.tv account and then I'm greeted with the main page without entering any inital setup. Upon reloading I then only get the "no soup" error message. The Plex GUI looks pretty standard, but lacks all server-related options.
I believe the problem has something to do with the NAS' IP as it, like my PC, starts with 137.xxx.xxx.xxx I think it is some sort of public adress. This network is managed by my school however, so I am limited to my machines in terms of what I can change. I furthermore also lack in depth-networking skills to really assess the situation network-wise.
So far I tried the following:
Reinstalling, checking the preferences.xml (at root/Plex Media Server/; for any additional information, I even tried adding my network as allowedNetworks="137.193.xxx.0/255.255.255.0"), setting up a plex user with UID 972 and write access for the jail's folders and subdatasets had no effect.
I also tried connecting my PC to the NAS directly, but then the NAS only printed out 0.0.0.0 as its IP so I couldnt even connect the web GUI. It might be worth chasing down this path, but I dont know if it would work.
I noticed that a lot of other people received this error message too and many threads did not deliver solutions, so I am now pretty disheartened and hope that you can help me out with this.
My System:
intel Pentium G5420
Fujitsu D3644B Mainboard with some Intel network adapter
1 Pool of 4 6TB Seagate Ironwolf HDD with configured and working SMB shares
NVMe M2 SSD as System Drive
connected to my Windows 10 PC using some old Netgear Router, that acts only as a switch (I guess, as my IPs arent 192.xxx like). I also cant access it anymore for some reason (as in I dont know its IP, IP scans brought up all kinds of devices but this and if it works as a switch it might not even have an IP, I guess?)
