I implemented the solution above but also changed the mount point for the USB hard drive.
Just incase anyone else stumbles upon this and needs help I'll post what I did to make it work. THIS was a huge part in solving this issue! I've been working on this for a good few hours now and this made my day (almost).

In my case my windows partition is mounted on /windows/ and the output of "ls -l" shows that the group (the 4th column) that has access is ls -lĭrwxrwx- 1 root plugdev 8192 jan 14 00:16 this helps! :) If none of this works then check the permissions of your mounted media using "ls -l". Some may consider this a bit risky since plex would be able to do almost anything that your user (in my case "jualin") can do. If for some reason that doesn't work then you might need to add plex to your own user group. Restart your computer and try to access the mounted media with plex media manager. Which should display something like: Plex: Plex plugdev In my case my Windows partition is mounted on /windows/ and the output of "ls -l" shows that the group (the 4th column) that has access is ls -lĭrwxrwx- 1 root plugdev 8192 Jan 14 00:16 this helps! :)
Restart your computer and try to access the mounted media with Plex Media Manager. Which should display something like: plex: plex plugdev To check that the "plex" user belongs to that group we can issue the following command: As others have mentioned in other forums the problem is that the "plex" user doesn't belong to the "plugdev" group which is the only group that has access to the mounted devices.Īll you need to do is to add plex to that group by using gpasswd I added the second hard drive to my fstab file, and that fixed the problem. This made me think that maybe that was causing plex a problem. What I realized was, the drive wasn't mounting automatically, and would only mount when i went to access it. This was a left over drive from an old windows install.

I had a separate hard drive that stores all my movies and tv shows. I'm not sure you have the same problem as me.
