itimpi Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I suspect the ‘&’ character in the host path for ‘Movies’ might be causing the parsing problem. 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Known issue. Only recourse at the moment is renaming the share to something else. 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Got it fixed on my server. Will issue a PR tonight for this. 1 Quote Link to comment
Patan77 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks, yep the "&" was the issue I renamed it instead to MoviesSeries and now it works. Quote Link to comment
itzmillertyme Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 hey Patan77 I'm an unRAID noobee and after you install and add Plex can you access Plex from a smart tv on your network with the Plex app from the tv? I just want to use my server for my home theatre and don't wish to use another (kodi) box or any other devices just my tv and server. Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately my TV have a really bad "smart TV " functionality (Panasonic VIERA VT60 50" - plasma). Here is a list of some supported plex smart tv: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204080173-Which-Smart-TV-models-are-supported- PS. after the installing plex on your unraid server, from your server computer you have to go to: http://localhost:32400/web or http://127.0.0.1:32400/web and sign in to your plex account. I did not mention that in the instruction that I link to in my first post. 1 Quote Link to comment
