unable to configure path

[CJ34NEC]

I'm trying to add it on UNRAID docker.

after many tries ... still the same error:

//192.168.3.185/appdata/plex/Plex Media Server/Media/ does not exist, please edit PLEX_LOCAL_MEDIA_PATH environment,
but that location exist

as local structure:
/mnt/user/appdata/plex/Plex Media Server/Media/localhost

even from network I can access it by:
\192.168.3.185\appdata\plex\Plex Media Server\Media

Can you share the log output @CJ34NEC ? and share your setup incl the docker settings for the container.

Hi did you get this revolved i keep getting this error no matter what, also would it be possible for you to share your docker im struggling using compose

[stevezau]

@CJ34NEC you PLEX_LOCAL_MEDIA_PATH should be mapped to a folder in the container. i don't think a unc mapping like \ will work.

Did you map that //192.168.3.185 folder into the docker container?

[stevezau]

@RandomMike360 what are you seeing? How have you run the docker container and what are your mapping settings?

Hey @RandomMike360 ah ok.. hmm maybe i need to update the docs then.

Were you able to identify what in the settings needed to be changed/updated?

I think the command you formatted lost it's formatting so its hard to tell.

[RandomMike360]

Hi Steve, Yes it was this /mnt/plexdb. Regards Mike Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

@RandomMike360 Ah, got it. This has caused trouble for a few others too. I thought the documentation covered what’s needed, but clearly, it’s not hitting the mark. Ugh. Thinking back to when you first read the docs—do you have any suggestions on how I could update them to make it clearer and help others get it working more easily?

[RandomMike360]

Hi Steve, I will take a look as soon as I finish work. Regards Mike Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

@RandomMike360 I am unsure what needs to be updated in the docs.. if you know please let me know and ill update them.

@CJ34NEC is your issue fixed? This can be closed?
