    Not for the Faint of Heart

    Not for the Faint of Heart
    If the attached image doesn't scare you then go ahead and continue with your purchase, Just understand this; I'm an "X-IT Retired" Hardware/Software Tech that spent many years, decades in fact, on many different devices. This one was, I have to say, put up a good fight. Let me just say this so you get some understanding regardless of how many 4 and 5 star reviews there are in here, Yes, the device is more than likely rock solid and deserves 5 stars for performance and longevity and all that stuff, but the real reason everyone buys this thing is probably for Plex or Emby usage.So I too, will go ahead and give the device it's deserved 5 stars, After all, it's not the devices fault if some software we choose to use is ridiculous to get installed. However, if when you go out and research on YouTube or Google Plex or Emby on Synology for reasons as to why the Library won't populate or show up and see the good amount of feedback on the subject, you know there are issues.Bottom line, after spending roughly, 5 to 7 long nights and 3 complete start from scratch attempts, simply because you think you screwed up, amounting to around 20 to 25 hours of time, it turned out there was one little flag they fail to tell you about that needed to be checked. I attached an image for those of you who might want to know. For those who already know these things, please move on as this post is not for you, obviously ;)...I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere, but I sure as hell didn't see it after three complete reinstalls of two different servers, both Plex AND Emby!!Within the Control Panel of Synology > In Shared Folder, you need to edit your user by clicking on their Permissions and then choosing System Internal User from the drop down and then from here Check the boxes under Read/Write for Emby and/or Plex.So if that doesn't scare you, and this is the reason for your purchase then go for it, otherwise, be prepared for a real adventure :)...I won't go into anymore simply because as I said, there are plenty of Youtube videos on the subject as well as discussions all over the net on the subject. So have fun!!
