You made a VERY fatal mistake: You probably, not knowingly, followed the instructions of one of those Youtube “Expert” Idiots. WRONG.

  1. You ignored the warnings I put in the Plex share about not placing media there.
  2. You then compounded the problem by incorrectly telling Plex where to scan for media (wrong folder)

Plex is trying to monitor and scan itself. It will blow up every time (Infinite loop).

  1. Make new shared folders for your media
  2. Move all media out of the Plex shared folder
  3. Edit your library definitions to point there.
  4. Restart Plex
