March 4, 20188 yr So I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to create a share and using docker to map it. I eventually got it up a running and could see all media in my Plex. This morning I go to turn on Plex and the metadata wasn't loading. What the heck? So I try to go into Plex "server settings" and it said that the settings are unavailable...I assumed it was something wrong with my unRaid settings, so I start to tinker around with it. Big mistake. Now I cant get my media back onto Plex. I can see the media in the share I created and also the media in the docker but can't see it in Plex? And now Plex is saying that my TOWER server is unavailable. This is so frustrating I am about to give up on it all lol Edited March 4, 20188 yr by scufless additional problems

March 4, 20188 yr Author I appreciate the reply. The thing is I don't know what seems to be the problem and where to start. The fix could be in that thread you linked and I wouldn't know. Thanks
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert Try again. The very first thing in that thread is a link telling you what you need to give us so we can help you. I fixed the link so it will take you directly to the post telling you what you need to give us so we can help you.

March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert That seems to indicate that you have mapped the config (where the Plex library would be stored) directly to your 'MyMedia' share. The result of that would be to write the thousands of files in the plex library to your MyMedia share. What you should have is a mapping for config to the plex folder in your appdata, and another mapping that points to your MyMedia so plex can find your media files. You really should take the trouble to read that thread I linked. There are even videos to help you figure this stuff out. It is much better if you understand what you are doing.
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert At least try to work through the Getting Started section, and ask if you have questions about anything there.
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert OK. In your MyMedia you are going to have a folder now called Library. That you accidentally created. Don't worry about that for now. You can delete it later. Here is a screenshot that shows my mappings. You only have one mapping, and it is wrong. You need to have at least 2 mappings. The first mapping is telling it where to store the plex library (config) and the 2nd mapping is telling it where my files are so I can tell plex where they are.
March 4, 20188 yr This is what I have so far. That looks good. I really would consider using the linuxserver version of Plex though.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert 1 hour ago, scufless said: Could that be why I can't find my library in Plex? In your most recent screenshot, you have mapped your MyMedia share (/mnt/user/MyMedia) to /MyMedia, so in plex you would find it at /MyMedia. It might be best if you stop the plex docker, go into your appdata share and delete the plex folder and let it start over so you get a clean start.
March 4, 20188 yr Author Ok I've done what you have said and deleted the shares that I have created and started fresh. Also switched to linuxserver Plex. Plex is still not showing my library.

March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert That 1st screenshot doesn't have a mapping for MyMedia, but that last screenshot does. Did you add that mapping after taking the 1st screenshot? Go to that 1st screen and move the slider from Basic to Advanced.

March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert Delete the orphan image, then go back to the screen for configuring your mappings and make sure it is like you want it and apply.
March 4, 20188 yr Author Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? I feel like I'm missing something.
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert 17 minutes ago, scufless said: Did that. Still doesn't show library in plex Before even trying to run the plex webUI to see if you can see your media, you need to get a mapping for your media in the container. The last screenshot you posted of the Docker Containers showed no Volume mapping for your media. Until you fix that plex has no way to see your media. Are you sure you applied the mappings you showed in that other screenshot? Maybe something is breaking the unRAID webUI on your setup. Do you have any adblockers installed? Do you have any incompatible plugins installed? What version unRAID are you running?
March 4, 20188 yr Author I have hit apply. I'm using 6.4.1. I have AdBlock turned off for tower.local. I have Community Applications & Fix Common Problems plugins installed. Is there supposed to be docker container for each volume mapping? Because when I try to Add Container it just replicates the one I already have.
March 4, 20188 yr Community Expert Here is an example of what you should see. Notice the multiple mappings. There should be one for /config and one for /media:
March 4, 20188 yr Author My volume mapping don't show like that...It's almost like its not recognizing that i've made any changes Edited March 4, 20188 yr by scufless ss
