I’m having an issue on my server where when logging in with various plex players over multiple devices no media shows on login (web-player, iphone plex app, and apple tv plex app). Even giving the application a while to load data does not provide any media. If I then stop and re-start the Plex server docker the media will temporarily become available for a short while but typically my own media sources become unpinned.

I have performed data base checks and the database appears healthy. This also appears to be a front end issue as I am able to play music on Plexamp.

Does anyone have insight into what may be happening?

Fix your file permissions.

So far that appears to be the solution. In the event anyone else comes across this issue I changes the individual permission for each main folder being used in Plex libraries to 755.
