Problem with Plex and volumes (docker)

Hi,
I'm trying to run plex with docker but I'm having a problem displaying the contents of the mapped volumes.
I have mapped a media volume (shared folder) and when starting the container I can see the mapped folder but no content is displayed in it.
I have tried mounting the volume with read-only permissions and with read/write permissions, I have also tried giving permissions to the folder for all users, for the "media" group (both read/write and read-only).
I have tried to run plex from the application store application and in that case I can see the contents of the folders, the problem is when running it from docker.
Has anyone come up with a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can download and use Plex in our TOS application center.
As for your problem of not being able to use Plex normally in docker,
Please check whether the folder mounting and permission settings are correct.

Hello,
I wanted to try the installation with docker first and if I can't get it to work, use the application available in the official store.
The shared folder I have created is /media on volume 2, the mapping on the container is:
--/Volume2/media > /media
The shared folder has read permissions for both the main user, guest users and all groups (admin, media and all users).
When mapping the volume and starting docker I can see the mapped volume /media but I do not see the content, inside I have several video files as a test but they do not appear, instead trying with the official application from the TOS store I have been able to see them see.
Thank you.

hello,
Can you see the folder you mapped when you enter the container?Can you upload the screenshot of the mounted volumes.

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
I leave you the images of how I have the volumes and permissions.

He created two shared folders, on both hard drives, for testing.
I can see Plex mounted folders but I can't see their contents.
Thank you.

You can edit the media user group permissions of the shared folder, or edit the shared folder and set the media user group permissions. When editing, you can check Inherit to all subfolders.

The permissions of media shared folder are set in read/write for the media group, ¿Is this correct?
Trying with this configuration the result is the same.
Thank you.
