seroUnraider Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi everyone. I have searched and followed all tutorials on the forums and still have no solution. I was using Unraid 5.x.x and Plex worked like a champ. All my media files showed without issue. I upgraded to Unraid 6.1.3 and installed Plex Media Server using Docker and now half my library is missing from Plex. I am at a loss as to what the issue is. I have tried several things to fix it but nothing works. - I have uninstalled and reinstalled using multiple guides from the forums. - I have tried to redo permissions but now I cannot add folders to my server it is saying permission denied. If anyone has experienced this or have/know a solution please help. Thank you in advance. Link to comment
Output Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I use plex docker and noticed that adding files to a share where cache pool is used, the files won't be seen by plex until they are moved from cache to array. Link to comment

gubbgnutten Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Post a screenshot of your volume mappings. Is this what you want to see? See attachment No. Go to the Docker tab and then your Plex Media Server container. There you'll find the relevant volume mappings. Link to comment

gubbgnutten Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Just attached it here. Are all of your media files really only on disk1? In my case, I have too many media files for all of them to fit on one disk, so I'm using user shares and simply map "/mnt/user/Movies" to Plex. Link to comment

In my case, I have too many media files for all of them to fit on one disk, so I'm using user shares and simply map "/mnt/user/Movies" to Plex. I have disk1 - disk6 and usr. The instructions said not to use usr. They are not only on disk1, they are being spread across all disk. Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The instructions said not to use usr. What instructions are you referring to? Link to comment
gubbgnutten Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have disk1 - disk6 and usr. The instructions said not to use usr. They are not only on disk1, they are being spread across all disk. As jonathanm asked, what instructions are you referring to? If you only map folders on disk1 to the Plex docker container, then quite predictably only media in those folders on disk1 will be available to Plex. If your media is spread out over more disks, then it is not strange at all that half of your library is missing from Plex... I can't see any reason not to map the media shares through user shares. Just don't confuse "/mnt/user" with "/usr", the latter is off limits :-) - I have tried to redo permissions but now I cannot add folders to my server it is saying permission denied. Previously I just assumed that you referred to Tools, New Permissions, but not I'm not so sure anymore. How did you try to "redo permissions"? Link to comment

I followed the examples here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24321.0 The one I used was: sudo chmod 755 -R "<plex media directory>" Link to comment
scottc Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 you need to change your mount points in the docker the easiest thing would be change your media mount points to a since one, something like /Media -> /mnt/user/ then inside plex when your setting up your media directories you would do something like /Media/Workout /Media/TV Shows etc.. Make sure you have enabled user share in settings -> global share settings Link to comment

Shouldn't prevent Plex from seeing files though, but could cause problems writing stuff so consider the new permissions script. Link to comment
