Setup Plex and adding media from different shares
Ah so i hope i understand it now. The docker setup can point to my individual media type shares on my server and that would go into subfolders in these shares aswell if i dont want the entire share in that specific media folder, say cloud for example has many different subfolders but im only interested in the video material there so i could add it like say (mnt/user/clud/tutorials)? Then in plex when i setup the library i will make one for each of my folders. i will give it a try and if i dont get it to work i will assume i did it in the mirror way and try again. Big thanks Hoopster i think i might have understood it, perhaps it wasnt as complicated that i was afraid it was gona be but hey when you are new to something it can be intimidating. I will check back with news if i got it working or not:) Thanks again.

Setup Plex and adding media from different shares
Hey all! First off im a compleye noob and this is my first server the fact that i havent killed it yet is a great achivement. Ive tried to find a solution to this question by searching and watching youtube but still not sure. as i have very little experience with unraid i would need help and guidence like a 5 year or learning to fold clothes. My server will be used for storage, Plex and when i understand how to set it up my own cloud. I think i got the hang of installing Plex guides there are straightforward My problem is how to get my Media into Plex. I have allready made folders and transfered all my music, videos and tv shows to my server from my old hdd before putting them into the server i had no choice. So now i do have seperate shares for Tv, movies and music and im trying to find out if i can use this existing shares to get the media into Plex, all guides ive see tells me to make a media share specific for plex and then add folders in plex that will get into that share. Can i somhow perhaps make a Plex media share with folders for Tv, movies, music, photos etc and link them to the other shares or something or will i have to move all the media inside that plex share insted. One reason im asking is that in my cloud share i have different movie tutorials that i wanna have acces to via cloud in the future but that i for now also would like to get in plex so i gan get acces to them untill the day i can setup the cloud. Again im sorry if this solution is allready out here if it is then im to noob to understand how to set it up. I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me and tell me how to get this problem solved and what i need to do to make it happend. If there is no other way then moving the media i guess i will but then i will not have acces to all my tutorial material since that i will not move. Thanks
