Server Version#: 5.15.0-73
Player Version#: I don’t know what this is?
I have uploaded all my films and tv shows onto the samba share folder from my windows machine but when I try to make a library the folder doesn’t appear under the path that I set up in /etc/samba/smb. conf. Does anybody have any ideas what is the issue because I’m a beginner with plex and linux in general so I have no idea what I’m doing.
Need to know the paths you’re using.
Show us the share [sharename] configuration block and how you’re trying to access it.
Plex won’t be able to see into your home directory.
The screenshot confirms this; you can’t see anything.
Linux permissions are too strict to allow that.
Create a directory in /home or on another HDD.
Set yourself as the owner.
Set the permissions to 755
Point the smb share there.
Example:
media
smb.conf entry:
[media]
comment = /vol/media
path = /vol/media
public = yes
browsable = yes
writeable = yes
Now, when you mount //hostname/sharename, it’ll be available at that mount point.
From what I understand when creating a directory in /home. I attempted to do this and the permission is denied as indicated in the screenshot. Did I do it right and why is the permission denied? Also, when I make the directory called media will the share name be called media.
You need to be the superuser (sudo) to do this.
Please understand, we can help you but this is basic Linux administration.
We help support Plex on Linux but are not staffed to teach Linux.
You’re better off to search the internet for some tutorials.
