What instructions were you following, if any?

In Plex, you need to add the library "/media".

Also, you should be able to go into the jail and look at "/media" and see all your movies. If you can't do that then you set something wrong in FreeNAS.

Where your screen says "/var/db/plexdata/Plex Media Server" Manually type "/media" and hopefully that will work.

In your Plex add library dialog box, type out the media storage path exactly as you see it from your FreeNAS Plex jail storage destination.

In my case, these are the storage source and destinations for my Plex jail. From the Plex web UI, I would add /mnt/scratch/plex/tv and so forth for the rest of my media sources.

Have you tried doing what I mentioned in my prior post? I had the same problem as you did. You have to manually type the source directories of your TV, Movies, etc. in Plex from your jail storage destination mount points.

In this screen shot what happens when you click add for the /media path? It should add that as media source in plex.

I had the same issue as OP. ended up typing in manually the "/media/XXXXX" and it was able to find it. Do not know why it was stuck in the plexdata folder and could not go back to the root of the jail. Oh well.
