See the following Plex document for officially supported Plex NAS drives: NAS Compatibility GuideĪt this time the following WD My Cloud modes are supported by Plex. For official Plex support one has to purchase one of the more expensive My Cloud models that include Plex support. The single bay My Cloud devices have limited hardware that make trying to unofficially install and run Plex or other OS/modules/features found on more expensive, more hardware capable NAS boxes a challenge.Īt this time the single bay My Cloud is not officially supported by Plex. The single bay My Cloud devices are marketed as a low cost entry level NAS device with certain limited capabilities, Official Plex support is not one of those capabilities at this time. From there the NAS may have additional features like remote access, media server, etc. It is in effect an external hard drive that attaches to the network rather than an individual computer. It is quite simply Network Attached Storage. It appears you may not fully understand what an NAS is. Or which version (v4.x or v2.x) if the single bay My Cloud model. I’m a bit baffled that in 2016, the only option seems to be to use the NAS as a external hard drive.įirst you didn’t indicate which My Cloud model you purchased. There are some major differences accessing from one or the other. If you look in the other listing on the PC and see “normal” folders on your NAS, you are seeing it as a share. Tell me exactly what equipment you will be using and I can help.īTW, since you see your NAS twice on your PC, if when you first look in contents one way, and if you see Music, Photos and Videos folders, that is seeing it as a DLNA server. I can also see movies on Roku, Chromecast, FireTV and mobile devices, too. My go-to device to see media from my NAS is the WDTV, It sees NAS as server or share. What I really want is to be able to control everything via my TV when watching.

Yeah, I can see both already on my laptop. Anything else said here was definitely directed to you. I do see what you mean about Bob’s comment, it is “too technical” and likely not a good idea, because the basic My Cloud hasn’t the horsepower to do it well. DAVIID: Well, my comment was made as a reply to “workaround” not to anyone in particular.
