Media on Plex

Hello guys and gals!

After trying to solve my problem without any success, I wanted to share it with you guys since I'm not too experienced with OMV/Docker/Plex.

I'm hosting my own media server with OMV and running Plex via Docker on a mini desktop, which I have set up about eight months ago.
Everything good so far.

Then I ran out of space so I added a new SSD to my system and that's where I'm stuck.

I added/mounted the drive as I did before but I am more than certain that I did something wrong since Plex is not showing the newly added files from the new drive.
(Thought it might be because of mergerfs but if I just use the new drive via the path in shared folders, same problem)
I've updated Plex and also tried changing the movie names just to be sure.

Also what I have noticed, when I switch the path via shared folders, I can see the different content off the different drives in my file explorer but on my Plex-App it stays the same (the old one).
I don't know if it is because of the mount setting but I wouldn't know how to change them.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

I have noticed that my Plex container has the old path as a mount even tho I have changed it in "files" and restarted afterwards.

Edit 2:
I have created a separate shared folder which is visible on my file explorer but Plex can't find it in the library.

Hey!
I'm not too sure if that's what you meant, but here is code from my file in compose for plex.

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host

    environment:
      - PUID=<1000>
      - PGID=<100>
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - VERSION=latest

    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a7319fa2-65dd-49d2-9719-0c3e6f3507d9/Media:/media
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-bec40b4f-0750-41a7-8a09-d4063f9093e4/config/plex:/config
      - /srv/mergerfs/datapool1/Media:/media
    restart: unless-stopped

Thank yall for the response!

What does this folder correspond to on your system?

/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a7319fa2-65dd-49d2-9719-0c3e6f3507d9/Media

Is this really the case in your compose file?

The normal thing would be this:

Code

- PUID=1000 
- PGID=100

Yeh, I've had it like that since I've installed everything. I changed it now tho, without any notable changes.
"/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a7319fa2-65dd-49d2-9719-0c3e6f3507d9/Media" corresponds to the folder "Media" on my first installed SSD.

Code

volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a7319fa2-65dd-49d2-9719-0c3e6f3507d9/Media:/media
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-bec40b4f-0750-41a7-8a09-d4063f9093e4/config/plex:/config
      - /srv/mergerfs/datapool1/Media:/media

you can't have a path pointing to same destination folder try something like:

Code

volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a7319fa2-65dd-49d2-9719-0c3e6f3507d9/Media:/media
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-bec40b4f-0750-41a7-8a09-d4063f9093e4/config/plex:/config
      - /srv/mergerfs/datapool1/Media:/media_Mergerfs

I changed it as you suggested but it did not have any effect on my Plex. Still not able to see all my media on my second SSD.

I think you will still need to update your plex library config to add the new media location/volume. You should be able to browse and find the new volume (see example below)

I thought so too in the beginning but whenever I scan or add the "media" folder again, it only shows the movies from my first SSD.

Are the permissions and ownership of the files that can be read the same as those of the files that can't be read?

If I check the files properties in my network, they seem to have the same permissions/ownership.

I know I am overlooking something, probably pretty obvious but I don't know what it is

Quote from gderf

You should be checking them on the disks

What exactly do you mean by "on the disks" ? I did check some files for comparison on my network where my drives/disks share a folder.

All the permissions are the same.

Quote from gderf

The permissions and ownership of shares are not necessarily the same as those of files and folders on the filesystem. You need to be checking the latter.

Excuse my inefficient knowledge, but how would I do so?

Ah okay, that makes sense.

This is the furthest I have come. I don't really know what to do next.
I know I should access my media folder but when I list the files/folders it doesn't really show a lot plus I don't know how to access the shown paths.
