I'm on Linux Mint 18.3, and am trying to get Plex Media Server up and running, but am hitting roadblocks.
After installing Plex and going through the sign in process, when I try to add a library I only see some files, and any deeper into most file structures appear empty (i.e. /home/houston/).
My folder structure looks as such:
/home/houston/Media
home/houston/Media/Movies
home/houston/Media/TV Shows
I've also tried adding the file paths manually,
for instance, but it is still not seeing anything in those directories./home/houston/Media/Movies
I've tried solutions from:
viewtopic.php?t=218929&start=20#p1174386 Here, which suggested changing the PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER from 'plex' to the current user ('houston'), but to no avail.
and
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=215658#p1126159 Here, which suggested the following:
1. Try setting the group for videos to plex
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R :plex Media
Code: Select all
chmod 2755 Media
After running the second option, my
Code: Select all
ls -lh
.drwr -xr -x 5 houston plex 4.0K Jan 14 10:43
Could anyone help me out further? Thanks!
