Please see the image attached.
My jail has listed the destination as Media as advised by all guides/videos for plex.
However when I go to install new Library the display path is a little different. Tried various things but I couldn't navigate to the output path. Could someone help and let me get this in order?
Thanks

Just type /media and hit save.

Where exactly?
I need the path to be simple because there are libraries that my team and I need to rebuild from time to time for different clients and presentations. For me it is fine, others are not very aware of how plex really functions. They are very happy relating to videos in "/media/"

As you can see all my jails are saved with destination /media.
Still the root directory is not showing up in the plex media plugin.

Were you intending to map the same path to the same jail more than once? (seems you did that for plex and emby jails)

In the grey box at the top of the "add folder" screen you shared (currently showing "/var/db/plexdata/Plex Media Server")... replace that with /media

So when I click the add folder and type
Code:
/media
to the folder and press enter it adds all the subdirectories.
Other option that I have is to actually enter the whole path eg
Code:
/media/Presentations/Current/Final/Synony/
I somehow can't use a click system to add. For someone like me it's not bad coz I am also managing all the files, but for various people accessing it once a fortnight/month, it becomes difficult. Any way to change the default path?
