Strange plex behavior

[costaandrea]

Hi to everyone, I'm trying to set up a Plex media server using my Truenas server and the Plex plugin. I installed and configured everything according to the manual. Installed the plugin in a jail with static ip (immediately working fine) and made a mount point using my photo folder as source. Now in Plex, nothing shows up, neither the photos or the folders that are present in the photo folder in the server. However, if I copy (but not renaming or changing folder) an existing photo, Plex immediately finds it and adds it to the Plex library...

Can someone give me an explanation and a solution?

Thank you in advance

The plex user needs to have permission to see and edit the mounted folders and files.

Although it's written towards an Linux audience, here it is well explained how and what needs to be done:
