I installed Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4 and easily loaded the Plex extension (2.4.2).
No problem when i stored some music files in the directory “\media” of my Raspberry’s SD card.
The problem is that I cannot show Plex my multimedia database located in SSD connected via USB to the Raspberry: when in Plex I look for the directory where my multimedia database is located, I can only see the directories of the SD card of the Raspberry, but I can’t access the external drive connected to it.
I can’t even show him the files of my PC which is in the same wi-fi network as the Raspberry.
Do I have to upload some initial configuration files to show him the USB disk connected directly to the Raspberry and the other disks present in the PCs of the same wi-fi network?
Thank you.
Please read at least the section “Mount USB Drives” of our small Raspberry Pi tutorial.
To access network shares of other devices, you have to mount them manually on your Pi:

Thank you a lot, but the problem is that having a Raspberry with Home Assistant installed, I don’t know how to access the Root.
I tried with the Terminal plug-in with the $ prompt.
If I type ls, the directories “addons backup config share and ssl” appear.
If I write sudo it tells me: command not found.
So the question is how can you write these simple commands through the Home Assistant interface?
