I am VERY sorry. I never received a notification until now.

You have “Permission Denied”.

On Linux, especially when the graphical (Nautilus) desktop is involved, use of the /media directory (which the automounter does) causes problems:

  1. Everything in /media/rob is exclusively owned by your username – Plex can’t get access even with permissions

  2. When you sign out – anything mounted is unmounted.

  3. The only way around this is to manually mount in another directory. You can use /media/plex if you want – as long as /etc/fstab does the mount during system startup

Please use this as your guide:
