I am sharing an external drive from a raspberry pi 3 with an SMB share- this is mounted on the Shield as network storage, and it can see my folders (TV, movies etc). When I try to add these folders to tv or movies folders in PMS web app I can navigate to the name of the folder, but Plex cannot find any contents of it when it scans.
My Windows laptop can see and access all of the contents of these folders when I add them as network storage, and I have tried setting my laptop up as a PMS and it scanned these same folders and found, and played, the contents no problem. This suggests it's not a permissions issue from the SMB share, so I am stumped.
If anyone has any idea of anything I could try, I'd be most grateful! I'll work out how to enable and get logs, in case that's of any use in finding the problem.
