Apologies if this has been asked a million times, but I have added an NTFS external drive to my pi but after scanning through plex I can’t see any files.
I can see the directories ok in plex, and when I browse to them using command line on the pi I can see the files, but scanning doesn’t return any results.
Is there a guide I can follow that shows me how to make the files show up?
(FWIW I’m very rusty on linux but very good at following instructions 
)
Create the /etc/fstab entry to mount the volume in some location other than /media . Ubuntu loves to take exclusive ownership of /media.
Make directory permissions 755 with you as owner first.
Mount the NTFS volume there.
Now point PMS at it.
Thanks for the quick reply!Finally had a chance to work on it.
Unmounted and remounted at /mnt, chmod 775, but no luck, still have the same issue.
Any suggestions?
fixed it!
hadn’t touched this for a while, bit depressed and much too busy.
in the end, I unmounted, deleted the directories I had created, updated raspberry pi for ntfs using sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g, rebooted, remounted the drive in a new directory called plex-media, then used chmod -R pi *.
And it worked!
Correct me here please? Your PI needs ntfs-3g and not ntfs?
This worked for me after following this Plex on Pi - Adding Media
