Server Version#: 1.24.1.4931 Hello Dear Plex Community, I would like to install 2 Plex Media Server to two different Server. I want to add Movie folder from both Server local storage. That means if I go to my player as a client and I login into my account I would like to see Server A’s Movies Fo…

Did you install it into a VM or container? To finish the installation of a newly set up server, you need to be in the same local network as this server. Which is only true if the VM or docker uses “host network” and not NAT.

are you using the same plex account credentials for both servers? I am only seeing one server connected to your account. Which brings me to the second question: did you “clone” the first server to create the second server? If you did, both servers have the same “identity”. So you cannot contact o…

Thank you, I found something interesting that sounds like a bug. if I have folder structure like /home/data/media/movies and I can see /home/data but nothing deeper, I add every permission to media still does not see it, if I go back and also add same permission to data what ive already seen, its wo…

You might want to browse the above link for the word “inheritance”.

Sounds like an issue with your mount… those permissions can/will be overwritten based on the configuration in /etc/fstab (not by manually applied permissions to individual folders inside that mount). The Linux Tips section linked by Otto has tons of scenarios on how to mount drives and how to ensur…
