Files Suddenly Unavailable on PMS App
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:24 am
Bought the Asustor AS5304T to serve primarily as a media server (also data backup for my various pcs). Admittedly, this is all new to me, so I have been working and struggling my way through. As of yesterday, I was set up with the server-side and had the Plex app up and running on my tv, with the media library accessible to it. Successfully watched a movie and a couple shows. This morning, I needed to disconnect my pc from the NAS to do some work in a different room. Now, the files on the tv Plex app are listed as unavailable. I really don't want to have to plug my pc into the NAS (CAT6) every time I want to watch something. To be clear, all my content is on the *NAS* and not on the pc. Any thoughts on next steps? Im a bit flummoxed. Was starting to use the Asustor Portal but that didn't seem to get anywhere and I don't want a "relay connection" as I think that implies that the media would be pulled up into the internet and then sent back down in the tv .... seems like I should be able to simply "broadcast" on my home network to the tv via the Plex app?
