SOLVED: Plex not seeing media folder

[Bubbledotjpg]

Hey guys new to TrueNAS Scale and have been trying to do my own research but seem to be hitting a hump. I am attempting to install the plex app but having issue with it seeing my media. When I send the config volume to my plex folder it installs there and seems to have no issues working. However when I don't install it there specifically it doesn't seem to find it when using the Plex Extra Host Path Volumes. When hovering over plexmedia it says :plex is using the dataset. If any other information helps let me know and I can provide it. Thanks for any help.

Realized my problem. Needed a dataset for each folder. I made the main dataset within Truenas then used Windows to make folders and put my media there. Obviously that doesn't work but we are up and running.

Can elaborate on that? I think I got the exact same problem: https://www.truenas.com/community/t...s-scale-with-plex-unable-to-see-media.107228/

There's no edit button on this forum? More oddnes..

Thankfully, I got it working! With some redo and this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6faaMR6aXA So, I basically set up the content folders inside the Plex installation/config folder. That works.
