Plex - reading data from multiple NAS


Recommended Posts

Hi folks

 

Please check if that usecase is possible:

 

NAS 1:

-Plex docker in unraid installed.

-Files for plex are on that same NAS as well  - runs like a charme

 

I have a 2nd NAS also (WD pr4100) 

Id like to use that space on there as well. 

 

Is it possible to store some data on the 2nd NAS as well and still having my first NAS on which I have plex to do the transcoding etc.?

 

Inside plex I cant navigate to my 2nd NAS when I want to browse those files.

 

Is that possible what Im planing to do?

 

greetings

Very possible, and explained in various places around the forum. Here are the highlights to give you a starting point for your research.

 

Use the Unassigned Devices plugin to mount your 2nd NAS to a named spot in /mnt/disks

Map that path in the plex container setup with the slave r/w option

Browse to the container side of that mapping in plex to add those files to your plex library.
