Hi,
I recently installed Plex in my Raspberry Pi3 B+. I got a 2TB SSD drive and loaded my movies in the Movies/ folder. I connected it to my Raspberry and I can see the drive in Plex but it doesn’t show the Movies/ folder or it’s content to load the library.
How do I resolve it?
It’s always Linux permissions. Please make sure Linux user plex has read access to the files on your drive.
From Step C… I get the following:
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Nov 3 10:47 pstuffs
I don’t get the drwxrwxrwx… any idea why?
my df gives me the following:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ df

I tried to follow the steps for /dev/sda2 but wasn’t successful.
Can you please provide the steps for specific to my drive only…?
I also changed Plex to use pi instead of Plex user to give full access.
Please read step C again. It does not matter where your drive is currently mounted at (e.g. /media/pi/PiStuffs). You create new directories and mount your drive /dev/sda2 in step D at the new location.
I am 99 % sure you did not (you did edit something in /etc/default/plexmediaserver.prev, correct?). You have to do something like this:
Btw: Please also read the official PMS on RPi guide.
I went through the steps again before your post but I also had to add pi to the plugdev group.
Once I restarted the raspberry pi… not sure if the steps worked or adding to the group worked but I have it working… Thanks 
One thing… trying to get my Pi to be static IP… is that recommended or not? I read mixed reviews. Thanks.
