The objective of this guide is to help you to set up Lime-Technology’s unRAID Network Attached Storage and install Plex Media Server and Tvheadend TV server into to it.

Then I read more closely and learned that the first RMA set up for me was to ship out a WD Red Plus drive (the one I already received) but the other RMA was set up so that I had to return my Wireless Pro before they sent me the other Red Plus Drive. I decided to ditch the passport pro entirely and will build up a true NAS, so my product choice was a pair of WD 6TB Red Plus drives, which WD approved.ĭecember, 2021: I received one of the two WD Red Plus drives via UPS, and have been waiting for the other one for a few weeks. It was quite painful to get to this point, but this is good - It means WD knows that this is not a good solution and so my investment is not wasted.

October, 2021: I continue to experience problems with the WD My Passport Wireless Pro. So with that out of the way here’s the way this story is unfolding: the most important is this: You must use a Plex client that will tolerate lack of internet! so far, the plex client that works for me is a Roku streaming stick (I have Roku Ultras that don’t work for this…). I’m also aware that the Plex app is designed to use with an internet connection, so there are some tricks one has to do in order for it to work. As pointed out previously, I am motivated to use Roku and Plex in my fifth wheel because that’s what I use at home - I want the same experience. I’m using this post as an event timeline, to chronicle my efforts. In this previous post, I outlined what it would take to spin up a Plex Media Server while for use on the road without an internet connection.
