29 - This morning Plex reported that an update was available.
There is a setting somewhere in Plex to avoid deleting your files uncheck "Allow media deletion" in Settings, Library, show advanced. I used caja to copy movies from the WD USB drive to the appropriate dvd_rips file on /data3. I did not want to expose my movie collection to plex directly, so I initially created a curated set of movies on longitude /data3. NOTE: Deleting movies in plex also deletes the original. If I were doing this again, I'd be using a snap. It will update whenever possible and save you the trouble of going through my updating procedure below. Ray, franksmcb's suggestion to use snap to load is great. Been trying Plex server for a long while.įranksmcb has suggested snap to load? I tried it and failed - had to reload Clonezilla image from before my try to get 18.04.2 to restart.Īm using 18.04.3 but will do a fresh reload to abandon all my failed Plex tries and the link to my tablet Īny advise/help/ hope will gratefully accepted. [Plex reports "There are no items in this folder" - used paths /media/ray/Biggy4 (movies) and /media/ray/Biggy2 (TV Shows) in setup.Īccording to a Plex help file Plex cannot see files on Linux and gives a procedure to change Linux to 'see'. Plex reports the disks but does not recognise any content. My main problem is trying to use external drives.
