How to Setup Plex Media Server On A Synology NAS

thanks for the great and analytic content. very helpful.

Thank you Brian. I had already a plex account, but I don't find where I can add my Synology content.

I'm trying to setup Plex outside my home network, so I installed and everything but since I used quick connect that's ending up being my Plex Url and I can not open the server link? Is there another way to make a Plex server? Best regards CC

I just bought a DS223 to replace my older Synology box which died on me after 10 years. It doesn't have PLEX available in the package store. It does have Emby so I'm testing that one.

tired many time when open it shows You may be able to claim it by choosing "Open Plex..." from the Plex menu in the macOS menu bar or Windows system tray. For more troubleshooting tips, see our . anyway to fix this?

Hi i got amd i removed the drivers because i got black screen but whenever i install the amd drivers it says system has a instillation restriction

Thank you Brian. It would make fascinating and excellent comparison to see the same process on unraid, true bsd, and perhaps a third os that plays well with plex and transcoding.

You could run Synology on your own server. I prefer TrueNas

👍👍👍

I am going back to a PC for a Plex server, Cheaper and more expandability for drives. Synology here is $500+, i can buy a cheap PC for about $100. My WD NAS keeps getting error that the server is not powerful enough, so time to switch them out.

There is a lot of Knowledge-gy on Brian's Synology 😁 I like your WiFi name 'FBI Surveillance' The UK NCA has been dubbed the "British FBI" 🫡
I like Plex for it's multi device usage & it has a lot of mods that can further increase its usefulness, Thanks for the Plex on NAS class Brian! 👍

Just gonna say, plex is awesome, but jellyfin is the FOSS version that I personally use and highly suggest.
