On a fresh Linux Mint installation, Plex Media Server (installed from the official Plex APT repo) is scanning the folder I assign to a library Movie (for example /srv/Media) it’s scan this dir and then proceeds to scan the entire root filesystem (/)(for example /usr, /etc, /var, /home) — indexing unrelated system files and creating junk entries in my library. Can someone help me with this one please ?
Make certain the path you’re telling PMS to use for the library section is correct
-AND-
No other directories are listed.
e.g.
TV series:
Dir 1 - /srv/Media/TV ( All TV shows under here )
Movies:
Dir 1 - /srv/Media/Animated Movies
Dir 2 - /srv/Media/UHD Movies
etc.
Somewhere you will find that you’ve referenced / as top level directory for a library section
–OR–
You have a Symlink / Cross Mount causing this behavior
