Server Version#: 1.41.9.9961
I just got PMS installed and running on my computer (Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS), had to use a previous version because the latest 1.42 release doesn’t work.
The problem I’m seeing now is when I try to add a library, only top level directories show up in the dialog. It’s not just my secondary drive either, when I try to open my home directory, nothing shows up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, check the permissions. I did, and it’s rwxrwxrwx all across the board. Maybe it’s an ownership issue. My secondary drive is root/root, but my home folder is me/me and it still doesn’t show up.
Do I need to add user plex to one of the other groups? Do I need to make plex the owner of my library?
Any help is appreciated.
