March 31, 201610 yr Im trying to follow guide to add more channels to plex, but i need access to these folders to drop the files into. I cant seem to find where the usr/local/plexmediaserver folder is located so im assuming since i installed a plugin through unraid that i wont find it using a VM. anyway is there a way to get to these folders so i can potentially drop these files there? Folders i need to access: Folders

Folders i need to access: Folders I don't use Plex BUT are you sure these folders are not mapped to the host in Docker settings? Usually all the important ones are. If not I could tell you how to get to these folders but it would be useless as once you restart the docker (if it is auto updating) or update it (if it is not) then the content you place in these folders would not be persistent (in that they would not survive this update / restart process). What Docker are you using for Plex? EDIT: Assuming of course you ARE using docker, which really you SHOULD be!

I could never be able to get the docker to work so i just defaulted to the plug in seemed alot easier than trying to make something to work

Folders i need to access: Folders When you installed Plex via Phaze Plugin, you installed it to RAM memory location (usr/local/plexmediaserver), not to a cache drive or array drive. You need to change you installation location (which should be giving you a big warning on the plugin setup screen) otherwise every time you reboot your server, your Plex install will be lost along with all of your setup configuration.

Thanks alot! Can you tell me how or where to move the installation folder to? i know you said cache but do i have to type the exact directory?

Better to store it on the Cache drive (via a Cache only share). I would NOT store Plex to the Flash Drive, Plex would kill it.
