Go ahead and reboot the box if that is the case. Note that you may get “some error occurred” when you try to do this. The only difference between what you see and the image above is that your Plex will be powered off ( red).

And now click on the “ Installed” tab on the Plugins page and you will see the following: Go ahead and give it an IP that will work for you. You can do this by expanding the “ Jails” tab and then expand “ plexmediaserver_1” and now click “ edit” Now we need to configure what IP Plex will listen on. You will get a popup notification that reads “Are you sure you want to install “PlexMediaServer” plugin?” Click “ OK” and it will proceed with the install and configurations.

I am choosing to share the root of my “ Volume0” and I decided to name the share “ FreeNASROOT”Īfter this is done bring up Windows Explorer and verify that you can access the share.

You can choose what to put in all these fields, just make sure you check and IP to bind it to at the bottom. Navigate to your FreeNAS IP and login, then expand “ Services” on the side and click on “ CIFS” and it will bring up the following: NOTE: I have chosen to use CIFS, as I am going this from a Windows Machine. First we are going to need to set up a share(I did cover this in my Install and Setup FreeNAS on Dell CS24-SC tutorial, so you can skip if you already followed that).
