      @dureal99d What is Plex?? Can you please show is a full directory listing of what you see and we probably can help you with this. So ls -al ... and possibly as well mount

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Sure thing, this is plex >>>> https://plex.tv/ad/getstarted

        /dev/sdb /media/dureal99d/Mass\040data\040Volume ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
        /dev/sdc1 /media/dureal99d/Mass\040Data\0402 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

        the 2 drives above are what I’m trying to get the media reconized on how ever all I see is this > 0_1464069314945_cropped 1 plex

        notice how none of the folders are showing, however if I go to my home directory you will see this > 0_1464069590562_Screenshot from 2016-05-24 00-57-16.png all the folders show.

        its really weird and it has something to do with drive permissions, but I am novice on how to set them

          What do you see when running this command: ls -al /media/dureal99d/

          My guess: It’s not permissions but the honky spaces in the directory names! While most filesystems (especially ext4) can handle spaces there are a lot of potential pitfalls along the chain of tools and software you are using to try and access those with Plex…

                I noticed that as well and I have no clue as to what, how, why or where they came from. I too am perplexed by those

                  I bet I know why , its because I have spaces in the drive names . I’m going to rename the drives and see if that solves that backslash issue.

                    @dureal99d just guessing but I think it’s how fstab associates spaced names. In fstab terms,\040 translates to a space.

                      Why do you need Plex to view image files, what is the end goal? And is FOG working?

                      There are far simpler ways to copy/share the images than Plex.

                        @dureal99d ok renaming the drives solved the back slash issue, also I got the permissions set on the drive but I have no clue as to how I did it. I going to retrace my steps and get back to how I did it here on this forum.

                            @Wayne-Workman Yes fog is working fine, I use plex as a media server on the same system. I use it so I can use the xbox in my room to view many media I have on my drives.

                            I simply used the gui to set the permissions on the drive.
