Might want to watch this for a decent overview of how docker wo Ok so this is how one of the guides had me set up Plex Network Type: Host Console shell command: Shell Privileged: OFF Host Path 2: /tmp/ Container Path: /transcode Host Path 3: /mnt/user/{Media} Container Path: /data So I would create my folders: /Movies /TV Shows / Pictures ......under {Media} Folder? I am not sure how I ended up with two Media files. One is just Media the other {Media}. I added the subfolders using the file browser in Windows, then going to Network and to Tower, clicking the {Media} Folder and added /Movies, /TV Shows, /Music, etc. but Media folder has the same subfolders in it as well. Should one of those be deleted? I added a screenshot of the current folders in "Shares." I will definitely watch the video guide you posted. Thanks Edited September 5, 2020 by Mistress_Mistie Added second screenshot Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I strongly recommend not having any user shares with special characters in the name. While not strictly forbidden, it wouldn't be surprising if something somewhere sometime breaks when trying to access {Media}. Move all the files from {Media} into Media and get rid of {Media}.

I am on a Windows PC and using the WebGUI to access my sever. When you set up the Plex docker, you already configured the data folder. It's in the Docker template as a container path. So your Docker has these paths configured within the container (my example, not your system) So when you're in Plex adding your libraries that you configured with that /data path, you look at these Which gets you this So you probably want to map your /Media share to /data in the docker template basically like how I have mine displayed. Then in Plex you can add any subfolders of your Media share as their own library sources... TV shows would be /data/<TV SHOW PATH>, Movies would be /data/<MOVIE PATH>/, Photos would be /data/<PHOTOS PATH>, etc.. Edited September 6, 2020 by Energen Quote Link to comment
