No Fix, No Charge PlexFix Pro

Plex on your NAS,
done right.

NAS devices are great Plex servers — when configured correctly. We set up Docker containers, enable hardware transcoding, configure permissions, and optimize storage so your Synology, QNAP, or Unraid NAS runs Plex perfectly.

Common Causes

Why this happens — and how we fix it

Every issue has a root cause. We find it and fix it, not just mask the symptoms.

Synology / QNAP native package issues

The built-in Plex package often lags behind updates and has transcoding limitations. We set up Docker-based Plex with GPU passthrough for the best performance.

Docker permissions and volume mapping

Wrong user IDs, missing volume mounts, or permission denied errors. We configure Docker Compose with correct PUID/PGID and folder mappings.

Slow library scanning on NAS

Large libraries on spinning disks can take hours to scan. We optimize scan schedules, enable partial scans, and tune database settings for your hardware.

Transcoding on low-power NAS hardware

Not every NAS can transcode. We determine your NAS's capability, enable hardware transcoding if supported, or set up optimized direct-play profiles to avoid transcoding entirely.

What We Do

Our fix checklist

Every session follows a systematic diagnostic. Nothing gets missed.

Set up Plex in Docker with correct permissions
Enable hardware transcoding on supported NAS models
Configure storage pools and media folder structure
Optimize for Synology, QNAP, Unraid, or TrueNAS
Set up automated backups of Plex database
Configure remote access through NAS firewall

Common Questions

FAQ

Should I use the Synology Plex package or Docker?

Docker, almost always. The native package often runs an older Plex version, has limited transcoding support, and is harder to update. Docker gives you full control and stays current.

Can my NAS handle 4K transcoding?

It depends on the CPU. Many Synology+ models (e.g., DS920+, DS1621+) have Intel CPUs with Quick Sync that handle 4K transcoding well. We'll assess your specific model and optimize accordingly.

How do I set up Plex on Unraid?

Unraid has excellent Docker and GPU passthrough support. We install the Plex container, configure GPU transcoding, set up the array/cache correctly, and optimize for your hardware.
