Plex - symlinks not working

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to configure symlinks for Plex, so I can separate location where data is downlaoded from what is in Plex libraries, but seems like I'm missing something and content is not detected in Plex. And im not sure where mistakes were made.

 

Details and examples below:
OS: 6.12.6
Plex: Official Plex Repo, latest stable version

 

Downloaded data is under: 

/data/torrents/  and respective subfolders ie. /data/torrents/movies

Example target for symlink:

/data/media/ and respective subfolder ie. /data/media/movies

 

What I did in terminal:

ln -s /mnt/user/data/torrents/movies/ /mnt/user/data/media/

As a result, folder 'movies' became visible in /media.

Plex docker config:

And Plex library:

As a result content is not visible in Plex.

I have also tried ln with -s -r parameters, but it also doesnt work.

Any advice or idea, what I'm missing here or what should be corrected?

Thanks.
