We recently moved into a new home. The basement is finished and the office place in which the internet will come into our router will not support me to have my unraid server in the same room. The house is not wired with any CAT cable nor can it be without tearing out drywall. My question is this. Is there anyway I can buy something to make my UNRAID server wireless and be able to connect to my wireless network? We do use the UNRAID server for music and movie streaming. It will be in the next room from the wireless router so it won't be far. I was not sure if it was possible to connect to some sort of mesh or something like that. I don't know much about wireless or networking other then plugging stuff in and connecting a device to it, Which is why I'm asking for some help.

Thanks for the help, All is good.

Sweet! I'm up and running now, Thank you! In regards to your share question, I have no idea. Back when a guy helped set this up for me 6 or 7 years ago that's the way it was setup. I don't mess with anything as I'm afraid of screwing something up, I'm sure my server is not setup as it should be. I have 11 disk drives on it, And adding one or replacing one is something I at least know how to do without worry regarding data loss. You say mine is setup with disk shares, What is the advantage to "user" shares? I don't have any other reason why it's setup with disk shares. I know that when I fill a drive, I add another one and just create a "movies" folder in the new drive and start saving to it. I'm assuming with "user" shares, You can just setup 1 folder and it will take into account all the drives available to it?

Here is my current settings, Have no clue if this is correct or what some of this stuff even is. You can see at the bottom I added a path to the a Blu Ray movie folder, Which I can't seem to find in Plex GUI when driving to add a drive/folder.

Thanks for the response. Issue I have is I had already deleted the original and tried installing the "official Plex" version, Couldn't get it to work. So I deleted it and downloaded the "binhex" version. I have no idea what any of my paths were, And I deleted some of those folders thinking it was causing issue with the new version download. So, This video doesn't help me much. Can I just install "binhex" and set it back up? I tried setting the file paths in plex to the locations of all my media. However, When I go into the Plex GUI, I have no idea how to find the drives. I have clicked on everything but they are not present. Also, To better understand what happened. I'm not much of a tech person so I don't touch this stuff much because I have no clue what I'm doing. Needless to say, My unraid system OS had not been updated in most likely 2 years or so. I updated the OS and that's when everything when bat shit crazy and plex stopped working. I tried updating it, Did not work. That's when I began to install other plex applications, Needless to say I have not been able to get them to work. I'm not even sure during the initial install what I'm supposed to check or set. I did figure out adding "paths" to my media drives in the plex docker setup. I have 10 media drives with various folders and plex has a path to them all. Again, However when I go into the web GUI and try to setup a "movies' folder or whatever it asks for me to pick my drive/folder. When I go into this option, I cannot find my pathed drives. Again, I'm not much of a techie, Don't know shit about networking so maybe I'm missing something.

Can someone tell me if there is a setup guide for this? I was using a version from someone that I guess was not supported anymore and over the last week Plex has stopped working on my unraid server. I have downloaded this version, However I have no clue on how to get this going anymore and can't find any guide to explain it. I have downloaded it and set the paths to my drives. I have try to find them in the webgui when setting up but they are not anywhere I can find. Can someone point me to a setup guide?

I'm having the same problem as you. Where is the deleting docker image (checkbox)? Also, What are the my templates you are talking about?
