So for the Videos folder I did:Īfterwards Plex successfully scanned the folders and added the movies and TV shows to the two Plex libraries, however, any new movies or shows that I subsequently add to either folder are not picked up by Plex even though everyone should have access to the Video folder and eveything underneath. I have installed Plex and added a movies and TV shows libraries, pointing Plex at the relevant folders, but as the plex user wouldn't have access to the Videos folder I understood I had to change the folder permissions. home/colin/Videos/Movies and the same for TV Shows. So, with my home folder on the 3TB drive I created a 'Movies' folder and a 'TV Shows' folder within the 'Videos' folder i.e.

I have an SSD plus a 3TB HDD in my system and when I installed Mint 17.3 I set /home on the hard drive as I was copying a ton of movies over and the SSD was too small. Hi folks - I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the problem I'm having with Plex permissions.
