Hey all, I’m stumped for the first time since adopting Linux. I can’t get Plex to see any of my folders and I cannot just move my movies to plexmediaserver because I don’t have the permissions.

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the permissions commands and I’m not sure what the simplest way to set up my Plex library is. Has anyone been through this process that can help me out?

        Deb is fine, but flatpak may need other permissions to access resources outside the runtime, which is why I asked.

        Are you getting a specific error, and are your media files local to the system you’re running Plex from?

          It’s not an error so much as when I go to manage my Plex library, only a few folders appear and I can’t move my movies to them. They’re on the same system.
