February 27, 20242 yr hi all, Using plex to serve movies from the array which works just fine. I have a second NAS that I connected to the router, it's Synology NAS, and I connected it to Unraid as a remote mounted SMB (pictured). I can see these in PLEX so I know communications are happening across the devices. The quality however when played through Plex is not coming through correctly, it's darker, more blurry, artefacts on screen like it's streaming at low resolution. If I connect direct to the Synology it works and displays just fine. So I feel I've probably done the wrong connections on this and need to alter something but I'm not sure what. I have one plex endpoint I'd like everything to go through, i.e. the one through the Unraid server but for that Plex to see the Synology NAS I'm not sure how else to connect these apart from through the router, is there someway I can connect the NAS direct to the Unraid network card instead of how I've currently done it or am I looking at this all the wrong way entirely. cheers
February 27, 20242 yr What's your docker run command. Plex would have no idea if the other server is connected via SMB or direct so long as you're mapping the remote server via the template, and adding that path to the library. I've done this for years and never an issue.

Hi Squid very sorry for not replying sooner, been just banging my head like an idiot (and working I guess) and forgot I wrote this. the run command: docker run -d --name='Plex-Media-Server' --net='host' -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="Plex-Media-Server" -e 'PLEX_CLAIM'='claim-RYYznJVPE2KSGVs8D-ze' -e 'PLEX_UID'='99' -e 'PLEX_GID'='100' -e 'VERSION'='latest' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:32400]/web' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plexinc/pms-docker/master/img/plex-server.png' -v '/mnt/user/test/transcode/':'/transcode':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/Media Share':'/data':'rw' -v '/mnt/remotes/SOLACESTATION_Movies/':'/solacestation':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server':'/config':'rw' 'plexinc/pms-docker' c2819961e19e4e82bbc84f619c7a87d8755f4f92b7cd1cee1472636dd5649257 The command finished successfully! ----------------------------------------------------- i got logs too but not sure how helpful they are. this is after startup I then navigate to plex in unassigned devices on tower and I can see everything in the drive. When I go to Plex I am getting issues with it like indefinite loading times on certain movie selections, or lag in the screen populating with information on movie screen like actor listings. I guess I'm still a little lost on what could be causing this. any other ideas of information I can gather to try resolve this?
