If you encrypted a folder or drice that Plex currently plays off of will it continue to be able to play everything in that folder after you encrypted it. Do some encryption methods work better than others? Thanks.
Plex access and reads files like any other app would. If your, say, file browser can see/read the files, Plex can. So, if your encrypted drive is mounted and accessible to the rest of the system, Plex will be able to access it just fine.
