Problem with Plex Music

One day, as I was browsing the Plex collection on my Synology DS1815+ Network Attached Storage, I noticed that my Plex server was not able to find any of my music (although all of the files were there).


The files on my Synology server are all organized under:
/volume1/Media

The problem turned out to be media-folder permissions. I used a media-folder permission workaround at the time. For a current installation, use Synology’s Plex setup guide to grant the Plex service account appropriate access to the media share.

For current instructions, see Synology’s Plex media-folder permission guide.
