I installed the plex media server via the marketplace on ClearOS 7.2 Home. The Plex server shows up under file server in Webconfig, but no link to configure the media server. I have the option of selecting that all clients can connect, or to create acls, & the client sees that there is a Plex server on the network, I just can't figure out how to configure the server. Thanks

    I am away from my system at the moment, but you should be able to get to the Plex interface through http://your_ClearOS_LAN_IP:32400.

    Hi,

    I have a similar problem.
    I got the web interface for set some differents directories.
    So On my TV, I see, the menu without any files.

    My directories on flexshares /var/flexshare/shares/diskdata.
    Which is set in fstab / UUID=xxxxx /var/flexshare/shares/diskdata
    In this diskdata, I have some sub-folders : Docs, Images, ... and Videos
    In Video some others folders : Cam, Movies, Series.
    In Series : Gomorra, Motive etc.

    In the Plex setup I set the Series folder ... but, nothing appear in the "Plex windows"
    Videos files could be MKV, AVI, and other formats.

    Where is my mistake ?
    Please, advice.

    Regards.
    Freed

    I don't use flexshares for my Plex stuff, but they are in a Samba share. Try allowing Third Party App access in the share.

    It is my point of view (about flexshare) a big .... problem for me. ;)
    Hello.

    So, I don't know ans understand samba. Goggle don't help me, I'm not a super engineer.

    I have to remove flexshare ; simply from the market place ... or re-install all from scratch , it will be only the 100 th time ;
    then only use samba.
    Can I copy / paste the flexshare.conf configuration into the smb.conf file? quite simply ?

    Regards

    Noooooo. What I said was go Webconfig > Server > File > Flexshare, Edit your share, in the Settings box Edit again, then enable Third Party Access and save.

    I understood your last answer, but ...
    I would like manage share (like for my NAS) for plex with smb.conf.
    My choice is do not use flexshares. You wrote it is possible, you did it. ;)

    Have a look on some on my files :



    #
    # /etc/fstab
    # Created by anaconda on Thu Feb 20 17:48:43 2020
    #
    # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
    # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
    #
    /dev/mapper/clearos_hpg10-root / xfs defaults 0 0

    UUID=b333c3d6-4878-4991-808f-86b66e422cd4 /store/DiskBKup ext4 defaults 1 2


    The 2 last lines was include by app-storage application.
    then

    the smb.conf file.
    On this one, I just add the x share definition
    [DiskData]
    [DiskBKup]
    [Films]
    [Series]
    [Musiques]
    [Plex]

    I see and access to these "shares" on a file explorer (nautilus) debian station with the "command"
    smb://hpg10/diskdata/
    or on the full disk
    smb://hpg10

    BUT ; Plex see only the "DiskData" and the "DiskBKup" without the sub-folders and files.

    What I did was clone a share from /etc/samba/flexshare.conf into /etc/samba/smb.njh.conf. and edit it:
    [videos]
    comment = Video Files
    path = /shares/DLNA/
    force group = allusers
    public = no
    valid users = @howitts
    browseable = yes
    writeable = yes
    force create mode = 0660
    force directory mode = 0770
    I am not sure the "force ??? mode" lines are needed. You probably need a "valid users" line and if you are going to write to it you may need the "force group" but I'm not sure. It is years since I did it.

    Then in /etc/samba/smb.conf I added a line "include = /etc/samba/smb.nick.conf" after the "include = /etc/samba/flexshare.conf" line. I did it this way to have less chance of the webconfig overwriting your config, but editing smb.conf directly may be OK as well.

    If I add a Flexshare "movies" I can added it in the Plex config! Plex --> Library movies --> 3 dots / manage library --> Edit --> add folder. Not sure why it doesn't work for you but it is possible.
