Difficulties setting up Plex

[Shlazor]

Not very good with UnRaid yet...  Learning though.

 

Can't properly set up myu Plex library.  Tried a LOT of things.  No joy.

 

1. I created a Share called videos and put a bunch of content into it.
2. Installed the Plex docker
3. Clicked and hit edit to do the following:

Nothing that I have tried so far will show my Videos here on the add library function inside the Web UI.

Seems simple enough but can't get it done.  😞

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Because you are not doing it correctly.  😀

 

You have a host path but no container path in your mapping.  You need both.

 

Call your container path something like /videos

 

On the Plex side when adding the library, /videos will then show up as the folder you select.

 

Here are some screenshots of my Movies mapping as an example:

 

 

I have container mappings for movies, tv, pictures, etc. so they all show up as folders under / that I can select for the appropriate Plex library.
