Media directory not showing in Plex library config

Plex Media Server
1

I’ve installed plexmediaserver-1.19.5 on a Oracle Linux Cloud server, and created a media structure at /home/opc/media/ in which to store my media files;

home
  └── opc
      └── media
          ├── movies
          ├── music
          └── tvshows

I have set the directory ownership of media recursively to plex:plex, and done likewise setting their permissions to 755.

When I try to add this to my Plex server, I can navigate to the /home/opc directory, but cannot see the tree structure that I’ve created within opc???

plex

Anyone any idea where I’m going wrong?

Most times, the parent directory itself needs relaxing too.

sudo chmod 755 /home/opc

It’s not clear if you include that in your permissions settings.

Many thanks Chuck for a quick reply, that appears to have been the problem.
I’ve now changed opc to 755, and I can now access the folder structure and all of the files within.

Great! now I can hear music at last!!
