Server Version#: 4.71.0
Hello, I have my media files in an external hdd (the file system is ext4). In Plex I can see the directory of that hard disk but I can’t see nothing inside of it. I granted write-read-execution permissions for all users (chmod -R 777), but it doesn’t seems to work… Any idea on which could be the problem?
I am no Linux expert, but I seem to remember that you have to mount the media manually.
If you use the auto-mounter in your desktop session, the mounted volume is only available to the logged-in user account.
But plex server runs as a daemon, under its own dedicated user account.

Thank you for the reply, I already mounted my hdd that way in order to work with Nextcloud.
Now I solved changing the owner of the media folder from ‘www-data’ to ‘plex’, this way I found that both Nextcloud and Plex can work together.
