I downloaded the Seagate NAS version to my new personal Cloud NAS, but it won't install the program. I access the NAS on my computer but when I click on it, it seems to default to trying to use IE on the computer I happen to be accessing the NAS with to install which is incompatible with that RBW file. I don't know how to get it to start the installation on the NAS and install it there. I think I need to tell the system the correct installation program to use to start the installation

SEAGATE PERSONAL CLOUD - "Your Changes Could Not be Saved."
Hi All
I really could do with some help. I had to restore my Seagate Personal Cloud 5TB and plex stopped working.
I then realised music had moved to another folder under a Recovery directory.
I then moved all the music back under Public\Music and reinstalled the Plex Media Server App nto the NAS device.
I now am trying to add the music library back but it keeps telling me "Your Changes Could Not be Saved."
I am attaching a screenshot and the logs. Need help please as I am really not technical at all
Thanks a lot

Plex Media Server and Various Artists
I have a very specific problem. I am running Plex Media Server on a Seagate Personal Cloud, streaming to a Denon Heos. My music folders are set up so that compilation albums are stored in a folder "Various Artists". Plex is reading these properly as compilations; it's giving me a warning not to delete the artist "Various Artists" because it will cause a lot of other problems.
OK, my issue is that I would like to access these albums via the Genre tag. The album is tagged with a genre in the Plex web app. When I filter albums by genre in the web app, I can see my albums in Various Artists there. But, when I go Genre > Artist via the HEOS app, I can't access the Various Artists, so I can't access the album. What is unfortunate is that with the same app, when you select other artists via Genre > Artists you can usually pick from the albums, so you can go Genre > Artist> Album.
I guess the issue here is that the album is tagged with a genre, but not the artist Various Artists
Can anyone suggest a workaround?
On the twonky server on my old NAS, you used to be able to select "Genre > Album" And that would work here.
Feature request! Add a Genre >Album selection option to the Plex Media Server

Seagate Wireless Plus 2TB
Hi Plex users, I just bought this devide and I was wondering if possible to migrate all my movies there and then watch them directly into my iPad, on the go, without using my desktop (Plex Media Server).
Thanks in advance.

Problem in claiming the server in Seagate Personal Cloud version 1.5.6.3790
I receive a notice that "This server is unclaimed and not secure". I click on the "Claim server" button, enter my username and password and get a notice that "There was a problem signing in to Plex". So I cannot claim the server. My TV doesn't find it while my Roku finds it and works with the server but the interface is worse and without the thumbnails.
How can I claim the server?

Seagate Personal Cloud V 101 not powerful enough to act as a Plex Server
This is a question and a work around. You can record something in Original Format using a HDHR, but the Plex Server on the Personal Cloud cannot process it and play it unless it is transcoded to a lesser quality. The recording is 1080 x 1920. If anyone has solved this another way, let me know.
My workaround has been to set up the access to the personal cloud on another Plex Server on my i-5. The purpose of the Plex Server on the Personal Cloud is to not having to worry about or try to remember to have my i-5 on when something is scheduled to record. So I use the Personal Cloud plex server as the recording device and when I want to watch something, I use the i-5 Plex server, either directly or using my Roku.
This is not very elegant and if anyone knows if I am doing something wrong with the Plex Server on the Personal Cloud, please let me know.

Issue with Plex and Seagate Personal Cloud
Hi,
I have an 8TB Seagate Personal Cloud with RAID enabled so that I have 4 TB of actual storage. I just installed Plex on the Personal Cloud through the Personal Cloud Applications section. The Personal Cloud now shows Plex is installed. I then installed the Plex app on my Apple TV, and associated the Apple TV app with my Plex account by using a browser. All of this works fine. Then, the Apple TV Plex app recognized my Personal Cloud. However, when I selected my Personal Cloud, I received a "Server unavailable" message. I have retried several times, and am continuing to get the same message. Does anyone know how to address this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Add Plugins on my Personal Cloud Sync, Seagate

Plug-ins Folder Tutorial!
I've been working on this for quite some time and finally got it working. It's a bit involved and requires a bit of terminal use, but I can confirm I have WebTools working and it installs channels just fine. I haven't tested many and of course YMMV.
Part 1: Enable SSH access on your Seagate Personal Cloud (SPC):
1. Enter your device url in a browser with the following extension ?appdev=1. Example: http://192.168.1.100/?appdev=1
2. Select "Services" from the navigation bar to the left.
3. Second from the bottom should now show "SSH Access". Enable it.
Part 2: Find and enter your Plex Media Server Plug-ins folder:
1. Using your terminal, ssh into your SPC using your administrator (or first) account. Example: ssh username@192.168.1.100
2. You'll be asked for your normal password.
3. My path to my plug-ins folder was this /media/internal_1/rainbow/plexmediaserver-x3op672.data/plex_conf/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins. I'm assuming yours will be somewhat similar. Remember to use quotes around folder names that have spaces within their names. Alternatively you can escape them.
Part 3: Get WebTools (or whatever bundle you want to install):
1. Type this command to install WebTools: sudo wget https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/releases/download/2.4.1/WebTools.bundle.zip
2. After it downloads, type this command: sudo unzip WebTools.bundle.zip
3. To clean up the leftover zip file, type this command: sudo rm WebTools.bundle.zip
Part 4: Restart your SPC and wait a long time for Plex to completely start.
Even after PMS was completely up and running, WebTools took a bit longer to show up under "Channels". You might have to wait a bit longer but it will show.
That's it! I installed a few channels via WebTools and they seem to work. I'm sure there are ways to consolidate a few commands but I'm not very good with the terminal. Let me know how it works for you as I may have left a step out and I'll do my best to help.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I haven't updated my firmware that just came out. This works for now but may not with the updated firmware.

Combining Plex, NAS and OSX - is this possible?
Hi guys. 
Completely new to the NAS-world, and I have a hard time keeping up with all the technical stuff, so hopefully You can help a newbie out 
.
I've used Plex for a while, and my media (and Plex media server) is placed on the local drive of my iMac. Sometimes I like to watch movies in bed on the iPad via the Plex App, but this requires the iMac to be on, which is a bit annoying. Even more annoying is that my iMac sleeps to save power, which requires me to periodically wake it up - a thing I do by using Rowmote to "shake the mouse" every once in a while. If I'm too slow, the Media Server doesn't always reconnect, and so I've had to create a script that restarts the app on the iMac from my iPhone... - all in all it's a hot mess.
Anyway, since I recently bought a NAS, I figured I might be able to do something smart with it. My hope is that I can make Plex Media Server run from the NAS somehow - so that the iMac isn't required to be on when I want to watch stuff on the iPad. Is this possible? And if yes, can you then point me in the right direction?
The NAS i have is a D-Link DNS-320 with a 500GB Seagate drive in - nothing fancy, but the guy I bought it from said he used it with Kodi, so I'm guessing it should be possible to do the same with Plex? So far I've been looking at services like FreeNAS and NAS4free, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Am I on the right path?
I've been messing with this for two days straight now, and I feel like I'm getting nowhere, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Why are there so many PMS folders on my Seagate hard drive?
I keep getting several copies of a PMS folder on my seagate hard drive. I'm enclosing an image for reference. I use Hazel (mac file moving software) to move files from a mac mini to the seagate. I'm not sure if deleting them will cause my plex system harm of why they are being created. If it helps at all, my seagate drive is connected to a NightHawk X10 router. Please help me understand how I can stop the creation of these folders, or to know if I can at least delete them. Thank you!

Running out of storage. Can I use two portable hard drives and assign the same drive letter?
Greetings! I have a seagate 8TB portable hard drive. With tons of tv, some music, and 1300 movies, I am running out of storage. Can I buy a second 8tb hard drive and just assign the same letter? Or, if I choose to name it another drive letter, can Plex recognize two different hard drives? Thanks in advance.

Plex Media Server for Seagate Personal Cloud stuck on "Looking for Servers"
I can't seem to figure out how to get the wizard to load so I can add my folder libraries and then access from other devices. I've uninstalled and reinstalled PMS using the Plex-Media-Server-1.7.5.4035-313f93718.exe file from the downloads page several times. I've searched the internet and found references to deleting the preferences.xml file, but I don't see it (or any folder related to PMS) on my NAS drive. I'm using firmware version 4.3.16.0. My hardware is n090103. Any ideas?
