Can't access Plex Media Server folder continued

Hello all,

New TerraMaster user here. I have the F4-424 Max with two Volumes
Volume 2 (HDD)
Has a Media shared folder with Read/Write Permission
Inside there's multiple folders, i.e. Movies, TV Shows, Music, Books, etc
There is only 1 admin user which is me no other users or admins created

Plex is not seeing any folder or content inside the Media Shared folder, what am I doing wrong?
@KWguy had the exact same issue I tried to reproduce it but no luck

Please set the “Application User” permission for the folders that need to be scanned by Plex.

I have the same problem but I have already given the application user the read/write permissions to the folder:

Is there any other advice to give? I have spent 7 hours trying to get Plex Media Server working on TOS 6.0 (Plex Version 1.41.0.8994)

Same problem with Plex. After giving read/write permissions it will only go one folder deep.

update to TOS 6.0.507 fixed this for me
if you are still having the same issue
maybe create a new folder check the permissions before moving any data or new folders to it

Hope that helps

My hero! Creating a new folder and setting permissions before I moved data into it fixed it. Thank you so much!!!!

There is no official Plex app for TOS6 yet. Please use the Plex app provided by APP Center.

Thank you all for the help on this. I had followed the same information as plexjellyfin and that had fixed the problem. I managed to get plex to recognise the folder now...however, I can see the media inside the folder (.avi, .mp4 etc files) and added this as a library, but when it tries to load the category e.g films, it comes up as "Films" is empty. I know that they all work as my current Plex Server files have all just been moved over there. I have also tested it with just a few files to see if the same thing happens (which it does.)
