Hi brysonjack_comcast_net,
The raspberry pi somehow got some issues with drives mounted in the /home/pi directory (see:
Plex Server Seeing Videos as Documents (likely a NTFS error) ). Do you know if NTFS is working? If it is, this may help you.
You just edited your post: You didn’t need to change the user in the config file, just the owner of the drive or read-only for everyone.
