Re: Browse for Media folder
upnp should be disabled..and does not help or even do anything on local network connections (no nat)
so is the shield the server or the player ? and what does the qnap do ?(just smb?)

I don't have a shield, but on my QNAP plex server install I can mount network folders (connected via filestation), they show up as folders in the main tree when adding libraries

Re: Browse for Media folder
a quick google found this
https://support.plex.tv/articles/220391 ... ia-shield/
see SMB section
my guess is, the new router has a different subnet (IP's handed out via DHCP), but if the shares were mounted via the old IPs, they wouldn't work anymore
