Recently, I installed Truenas Scale 22.02.3 on my home Lenovo server. When trying to configure my Plex server I ran into a roadblock. The shares I configured in my pool cannot be seen by Plex when trying to point to the media folders (Movie, Music, Photos, etc.). I suspect I overlooked something in the configuration. Please see screenshots for help. By the way, I am not married to this configuration and could easily wipe it and perform another fresh install.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Update - Problem solved

In the Plex Server configuration on the TrueNAS server, I overlooked the addition of the "Configure Plex Extra host Path Volumes." I overlooked the option to "Add" the path. I assumed (incorrectly) that the path was an existing option. Once I used this option, I could see all of my media, opened the Plex app, and it all worked.

I hope this helps someone else.

Wouhou ! Thanks a lot, I missed this option too.

I was looking for a solution since yesterday, looking at the user permissions, ACLs & co but it was only a missed option.
