I'm using TrueNAS scale 22.02.2.1
I have a directory in a dataset that save all my movies to and a second directory on the same dataset for my TV shows. The full path for them are:
This works fine for my main library, but I like keeping a secondary Movies and TV Shows folder with content that is specifically okay for my kids to watch. In the past I've accomplished this by making a directory and then using symbolic links to the original folders. On my TrueNAS Scale box I made it like this:
Plex can see all the original files and folders and browse them without issue, but on the symbolic link folders it shows them as greyed out. This would make me think it's a permissions issue, but as you can see it's all in the same folder area and the .kids has the exact same permissions as the other folders.
I'm not sure if this would affect things but I am using samba to share this as well and use an ACL for permissions on this. I have added the kids folder as an additional storage option in the app settings and checked the box that says "automatic permissions"
Any idea what I'm doing wrong that would cause the symbolic link folders only to be greyed out?
