Currently using a old dell workstation as a NAS and it works but I cant get Plex plugin to work i have 4 hard drives in the computer of varing sizes that are shared through SMB. 1 is a 40 gig disk drive used for as the Jails ROOT folder. Another is used for my main computers backup drive, the next one is a disk drive I use to store movies and the last one is the inaccessible drive FreeNas boots off

I just cant add library folders to Plex or least I cant find the one I want to add that has all my movies.

You have to type in the path manually on Plex.

yeah I've tried that for both /mnt/Storage/Movies/Media and /Media it always draws a blank

Try /media with no capital M.

Did you check the box for "mounted" in you jail storage configuration tab.

Thanks for everyone that helped I was able to solve it by Updating PLEX turns out the server version downloaded with the plugin was out of date then using /media worked
