New setup after on a RPi 4B 8GB…
TF disk is 256GB if that matter - external drive is a Samsung EVO 1TB ssd…
So I created a new PMS for a NASPi project, and I’m having issues with adding the media libraries…
I have another PMS on Win10, and Another on MacOS/Intel to compare behaviour to…
So the Rpi is headless… access is through SSH. I followed the Linux install instructions.
The external drive is set up in fstab to automount on boot and is mounted to /media/pi/PLEX/
I can access the folder in it fine from the OS.
Permissions on the PLEX folder look like this:
pi@plexpi:/media/pi $ ls -la
total 12
drwxr-x—+ 3 pi pi 4096 Jun 9 17:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 9 17:20 …
drwxr-xr-x 5 plex plex 4096 Jun 9 15:20 PLEX
pi@plexpi:/media/pi $
There are a few folders under there with inherited permissions for movies.
When I go into the web gui to add a library to the server, and select BROWSE to select the folder, it doesn’t seem to see the PLEX folder…

If I manually type in the full path to the media folder ("/media/pi/PLEX/MOVIES") it doesn’t pick up any media on that folder, but the web gui dialog will accept that path…
I’m not sure how to verify that the PMS server is running under the ‘plex’ id to verify it has permissions to view the folder… default id is ‘pi’.
Any thoughts?
