trurl Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Unassigned Devices plugin will let you mount SMB shares. Quote Link to comment
evocraigst Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dude i love you better than i hoped for Quote Link to comment
evocraigst Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Ummm /mnt seems empty , no folders if you use plex to navigate or manual type Quote Link to comment
PCRx Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 You'd probably want to mount the remote NAS share using Unassigned Devices. Then map a container volume to it in your Plex docker setup. That way Plex can see it. Quote Link to comment
evocraigst Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I remote smb 4 folder shares with show up and can be explored via /mnt/ but plex seems it as no folders , unassigned part is empty and see no way to add device Quote Link to comment
PCRx Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Shutdown and restart the Plex docker. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dockers will only see mounts that were available when the docker service starts so try restaring the docker service (not just the docker) after adding your SMB mounts. Quote Link to comment
evocraigst Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 i got it working i had to install it as a plugin , but all seems fine , was only temp fix as now moving from nas to unraid due to have much faster it its to read files ect cheers for all your help Quote Link to comment
