You must add shares from the webUI.Wow thanks, that seems very inefficient, but OK thanks for the heads up. So I guess I better create a share that I can interact with for various other reasons. Thanks again.

I tried reading all kinds of documents, articles and videos, but what really helped in the end was Grok AI, it actually figured out what I was doing wrong and it helped me fix it all in one go. I hate these AI chatbots because they just don't seem to listen to you very well, but once you figure out how to exactly describe your issue in detail it suddenly dawns on it what is wrong and that is what happened here today. My Plex media server is now running great and I tested it on multiple TV's and devices. The videos on YT are just way too outdated and every one of them have you do it a different way. So fragmented, lol.I will continue to read up on Unraid as I find time and I hope my setup gets better. Im sure I have lots of things set incorrectly on Unraid at the moment and only time will tell if I fix them all. I will leave my last 8TB drive sitting in the Windows server for now just because Im not sure I can trust this Unraid setup and its the ONLY backup I have of all of my data at the moment. LolThanks to everyone that helped me and kindly did so without getting to frustrated at me.

Most of us who help here are volunteers and we appreciate when folks seeking help understand that. All of us at one time were also nu-bees albeit Unraid was just a NAS product when I started (Back in late 2011) and anything beyond that was done with Plugins (like--- Plex). Those days things were a bit like the wild west at times. One plugin would replace a dependency file with one of a later version that another plugin could not use and things would crash and burn.Looking back over this (your) thread, it looks like you have a lot of technical background. I do hope you will consider becoming one of our 'volunteers'. You don't have to be a expert on everything but if there is an area where you are quite knowledgeable consider watching for threads about problems with those topics. Hope you can help out...
