Hello everyone,

I have problem with mi Plex mediaserver installed on raspberry pi3 with raspbian.  
I followed the installation instructions I found here below:

**removed link to bad tutorial by mod**

Plex media server is running but when I try to create any library I do not see any content in it.  
I tried with files in home/pi/Music folder but I see no contents.

I found many solutions online but none of them worked for me.

Any suggestion?  
Thanks in advance
