So I've been fighting this for some time.
I tried to create iocage jails per this guide and got an absolute disaster of a file structure which took forever to get rid of and I just don't understand how to do it properly. I've tried that one literally about 10 times and just don't get it. I don't know *nix much at all and certainly don't know how to point to the right file structure I'm looking for.
So I went back to this, (should have said this is 11.1 plugin installation) which I had gotten to work completely once, including serving a movie over the network to my phone at a transcoded resolution. I was having problems and restarted everything again, went back and reinstalled as per his instructions, but I can't figure out how to get plex to look at my media directory. Everything I tried said there was no media in the folder.
I found this and did everything from here and again, Plex starts right up, but I can't figure out how to point it to my media folders. If I put my media INSIDE the jail, it works. But I don't want my media in the jail. If i delete the jail, I don't want to lose my media.
My file structure is /mnt/Endless/Shared/Media/... I'll have a Music, Movies, and TV Shows folder. Music will be further branched into Artist and Album folders. Tv Shows will be Series and Seasons folders. Movies will be in their own folders with art work and MY Movies (plugin app from MediaCenter PC) .xml file. Permissions for my storage are plex: plex, user ID 972, unix permissions 777. SMB share shows up fine on the network. Jail storage is /mnt/Endless/Shared/Media. In Plex when adding a Library, I type in /media/Music and I'm told there is no media in the library.
I'm at wit's end trying to figure out why I cannot get this to work a second time. I would imagine my problem is permissions, but I don't know where I'm going wrong at this point.
