Is there a way around the problem that plex only feeds from ex fat/nt drives but Linux has permission issues networking such a drive? I wanted to have one computer where I’m doing all the formatting and the other being the standalone plex server with them both connected. Samba is being a pain.

My entire life is Linux and self hosted, aside from Email. I may get to that one day too. Love my Plex server, even with the more recent baloney the company’s apparently been up to.
I should be using Jellyfin but once I get home from work I don’t want to tinker any more, I just wanna play a game or dick around.
Agree with the message in the video, these companies should be told to pound sand the minute they do a single anti-consumer thing.

Curious about your problem. I’m using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you’re describing previously.

There’s two problems. I’m new at setting up the network so no doubt that is mostly my problem. I’m just switching over to nfs now.
But the exfat drive that only works on plex (can’t upload from ext4) is the weird bit I don’t get. Are you storing everything on ext4 for plex? If so how did you trick plex library into seeing it?

I set up jellyfin recently. Haven’t tinkered with it any more than plex to be fair
