Plexmediaserver and folders

Server Version#: 1.18.7.2457-1

Good afternoon, everyone,
One quick question.
I’m on Manjaro Linux.
All my folders add very well in Plex with 766 rights, that is to say Execute + Read + Write for me, Read + Write for the group and others.
I granted the same rights for my /home/obelix/Videos/* folder recursively with a chmod -R 766 ~/Videos/
But now Plex can’t detect my folders in /home/Videos.

Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

How did you mount the underlying drive?

Thanks, but I found the solution.
it was simply to take away the writing rights from the “bands” and the “others”.
Only leave the reading rights.
That way, plexmediaserver recognized my files directly.
Sorry for the bad classification of my message. It’s true that I should have put it in the “linux” part, but I wrote my message too quickly.

Supplemental advise if I may?

  1. Directory permissions are most secure as 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
  2. File permissions are most secure as 644 (rw-r–r--)

“x” is needed on directories in order to traverse into deeper ones.
