The command "chown -R plex:plex torrents" does not reveal the default, movies, shows folders in Plex #562

I am following the setup instructions for Linux Server Setup: https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid/wiki/Setup-Guides#linux-server-setup

I got down to step 18.

If I run ls torrents I can see the three folders default movies shows but when I try to add those folders inside the Plex Web Server UI the torrents folder is empty. I cannot see default, movies, or shows there.

Running chown -R plex:plex torrents or sudo chown -R plex:plex torrents makes no difference.

Hi I came across the same issue while setting it up on my raspberry pi. I think it's folder permission issue and my workaround was to make a folder inside root. I named it PLEX sudo mkdir ../../PLEX && cd ../../PLEX and then I followed all the steps from this folder. Note- you need to use sudo in order to make any change in root.

Thanks that worked!

In rclone you can specify a UID and GID using flags. This would be a better approach than doing chown.
