Help with Plex Media Server plugin!!!

[GiovanniBA]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to FreeNas, but I've already managed to make my server work right to share files and as a server in the cloud.
But the Plex Media Server plugin is having trouble navigating the previously configured media directories and adding the files to your library.
What I find is that they do not have sufficient permissions to browse the server directories.

I'm using FreeNAS-11.0-U2 and the Plexmediaserver 1.8.1.4139 plexmediaserver-1.8.1.4139-amd64 plugin

I followed all the steps of this video that I found on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaiBWJ2r2Hg
However after installing Plex it does not browse the root directories, media etc ...

Below is an example of what is happening.

It's a frequent question here lately. tl;dr: you won't be able to browse to the media directories; you'll need to type them in manually. See:

Using these links that friend @ danb35 posted here to help me, I actually found the posts before he posted here, then checked and saw that they were the same ones I had read. Hehehehe
