RELATED: How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your Movies on Any Device) But sometimes, you’ll go to log into your server only to be mysteriously shut out. Let’s dig into some arcane settings and get you back to media nirvana. You install the server software, you point your Plex clients at it, and start watching your movies. Is it possible that when I set up Samba for this same directory that I somehow prevented other group or users from gaining access to the directory outside the root user?Īny help would be greatly welcome, but please keep in mind that my knowledge on using and navigating Linux and Ubuntu is very rudimentary.For the most part, the Plex Media Server experience is pretty flawless. However, despite the multiple days work I’ve put in to try and solve this problem, I’m unable to find any media in these directories from the plex app. When I use the ls -l command on my media storage directory, I get the following output ls -lĭrwxrwsr-x+ 2 plex plex 4096 Jun 21 20:01 moviesĭrwxrwsr-x+ 4 plex plex 4096 Jun 21 19:37 can see that I’ve created a plex group and added the plex user to that group. This hard drive is mounted, which I verified using gparted. My movies and TV shows are stored at path /media//hdd/plex. My machine currently has two hard drives, with the one that doesn’t hold the OS as my media drive. I used this guide here: to get my basic install going and also set up plex as a user and group for the directory that I use to hold my media. During this current set up, I’ve got Samba set up to manage my file sharing and got Plex installed and running. After messing up the permissions setup while trying to get file sharing to work, I recently wiped and did a fresh install of Ubuntu. I’m a complete novice at Linux and setting up Plex is among the projects that I’m using the learn. This is my second time getting Plex up and running on my Ubuntu machine.
