So I've go kind of a major problem.... The other night I went to watch an episode of Big Bang Theory, but it said the file is "unavailable". So I go to the media server on my computer (windows) to see what was happening. Every file was "unavailable. So I clicked on my Synology NAS drive and the entire media folder was gone. 400 movies and shows, gone, no trace. Nothing was touched, nothing changed in my settings, it should have been business as usual, but noting was there. It wasn't the entire drive, my Surveillance Station files where still there, just the Plex Media folder.
Anybody ever heard of this happening? I can't imagine there's a fix, but losing all my media for no apparent reason really sucks.
My setup, in case it matters, is I watch on a Roku, my media server is on a widows computer, I also have a Mac Mini set up as a backup Plex server, my media is (was) on a Synology 214 SE running 2 healthy Maxtor drives.
How does an entire Media folder just disappear? A virus perhaps?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
