markinsutton Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I am trying to mount a remote storage device so I can use it with Plex. I have tried mounting both via NTS and SMB they show up in my unraid main page as /192.168.1.100/unraid_share and when I look for them via my windows machine \\192.168.1.200\192.168.1.100_unraid_share I can see the contents with the unraid_share on the web interface but when I look inside /mnt folder inside plex it is empty I have tried directing it to /mnt/disks/192.168.1.100_unraid_share can anyone please advise me what path I need to put inside Plex?

This seems to be a question about how to setup the plex docker rather than a question about Unassigned Devices. And you haven't told or shown us the most important thing about setting up a docker, your volume mappings. Post your docker run command as explained in this very first link from the Docker FAQ: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/57181-real-docker-faq/#comment-564345 Then I will probably split this to the support thread for the particular plex docker you are using.

I am pretty sure Plex is setup correctly and for some reason unassigned isn't allowing plex to see this share. if you saying that I have set up everything correctly given I have failed to provide enough information for this to be the case.. new to unraid and different Docker containers I am trying work out the relationship of how they communicate, when it seems both Plex and unassigned devices are working Quote Link to comment
alturismo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 you are using /mnt/disks/... in Plex, wich is the host path, not the docker path ... and its a "relative weird" setup anyway ... 1st u need to add a mountpoint in your plex docker (check faqs), or as these are external sources anyway why not use them directly in Plex as network shares ? 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks I will look into how to get plex to see my network share Quote Link to comment
alturismo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) may just as start and final as its offtopic ... yellow /Media <-- the path in plex; red /mnt/user/Media <-- Host Path so inside Plex u look into Media ... Docker Edit add path ... for more help herefore, goto the proper subforum, Docker startup etc ... not related to unassigned devices ... Edited May 23, 2019 by alturismo Quote Link to comment
