There is a much simpler method to add f.i. a (usb) ntfs (or other) media disk to Plex.

Just plug it in your usb port of the plex server/computer.

The problem is that it will be mounted under /media/<user> (where user is your login)

Linux restricts access to /media/<user> via acls to the <user>

sudo getfacl /media/<user>

The problem is that while adding media to Plex, it cannot "cd" over/to /media/<user>

To fix this, simply add the user "plex" to the acl of /media/<user> wth this command:

sudo setfacl -m u:plex:rx /media/<user>

Optionally you can create a symbolic link to your media folder.

Suppose your media folder is called "films" and it is located on a drive auto-mounted as /media/<user>/mydrive, then you can create a symbolic link at /film:

ln -s /media/<user>/mydrive/films /film

Now you can browse in Plex to that folder /film and view and index your media.

Just press volume up down a few times. Wait a bit. It shows up as output in Settings. Switch to that. Mic doesnt change by default so need to change that too.

Best service till date to transfer music between services and also to keep them in sync. Well priced too relative to others. All web based interface is great. Makes it easy to manage playlists too - much better than native services in some cases.
