Plex refusing to index music

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
2

I just managed to solve my own issue. While searching for other users with similar problems i stumbled accross this post Unable to add music where they were also unable to download the logs zip because of their temp directory.

My exact issue was in my docker compose I mount the direction plex_temp like this

  plex:
    container_name: plex
    image: binhex/arch-plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1004
      - PGID=1001
      - UMASK=002
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - TRANS_DIR=/transcode
    volumes:
      - ./plex:/config
      - ./plex_temp:/transcode

This plex_temp directory had the complete wrong permissions and was not owned by the plex user as it was meant to be. Changing the owner of the directory allows music to index and also solved my logs not downloading.
