I suppose this is about FreeNas?!

It is a FreeNas install 11.3, I don’t have any plex files under /usr/lib

I even checked with SSH and no resources folder.

Are you looking for the system profiles or users override?

The dir you mentioned is where the “application support dir” os pointed to, meaning where your plex user data lives. You can create a Profiles directory inside and then create your own profiles ( or copy existing ones from the installation directory and adapt).

Usually on BSD 3rd party software is installed to `/usr/local/share/`

Thank you! /usr/local/share/ is what I was looking for.
