Ok so the short is.
Everything worked fine on my Mac mini while I had the drives connected via usb to the back of the Mac.
Bought a new my cloud HDD.
Moved the movies there.
Deleted plex, all system files, and re installed plex.
Did a re scan.
Everything works like it should, but the videos will not play.
Here is some debug log info.
