First, I’m new to Ubuntu, but not to PLEX. I’ve set up two drives, 1 is my main drive for the OS and etc and the other is a 5-drive RAID 6 for my PLEX data. When assigning my libraries, I can see the main RAID drive, but not the subfolders that hold my PLEX data. I can see those folders when in Nautilus, just not when trying to add libraries. Please help.

When Plex has trouble finding media, I always start here:
