For example: “ The Batman (2022).mkv” or “ National Treasure Book of Secrets (2007).avi” or similar. My recommendation is to use all lowercase letters for filenames and include the year of release in parenthesis as part of the name. There are definitely some tricks to getting it to work well, not the least of which is to learn how to name your media files to give the server a head start identifying the content so it can match things up. My server runs on an Apple Mac Mini server 24×7 and I mostly watch it on my Vizio televisions, all of which have a Plex client app available. I have gone through 20 pages on here and couldnt see anyoe with a similar issue.Always nice to hear from a new Plex user: I’ve been a fan and user of Plex for quite a few years, and find it works great with its Mac, Android, PC, and even Smart TV clients.

Please does anyone have any ideas what i could be doing wrong or am i total noob and have missed somthing? Ive named them/pathed them according to plex website and still nothing. Same for my music folder too, try to add it and nothing appears, i get the same message of there are no items in this library.īoth folders are NOT in the standard multimedia folder by qnap, i created them seperalty. I go to add movies to the plex library, (which pick up fine with twonky and qnap media) i understand the shared folder is under cachedev, then find the folder with the movies in it, and it doesent do a thing. I have one data volume, with all my folders underneath it. Latest manually installed version of PLEXĭisabled itunes server (as this was managing my music) Ive got a ts-251, 8GB RAM, not ARM so should tick all the boxes. Im starting to give up! I thought Plex maybe fairly simple way to stream all my movies and music around the house and to mobile devices, but i cannot add any of my media content.
