I followed the instructions on the YouTube video from the FreeNASTeam exactly, and the "/" folder with "bin, boot, media, etc." is not there. And when I opened Plex Plugin through the FreeNAS gui, and I tried to "Add Library" and "Browse for Media Folder", no other drives besides the plex folder with the "Cache, Codecs, Logs, etc." is showing. I added some test video files via file explorer on a Windows machine. So, I wiped the entire filesystem, created a main volume, created a media dataset, created the jails dataset, installed Plex, added the storage link in the jail to the media dataset, and created the windows smb share (with guest access allowed) with the media folder. But then, I realized that I did not even see if Plex could see the media files I had added with the guest access allowed. I have spent the better part of the past 6 hours reading all the forums I could find regarding Plex and share permissions, to no avail. I understand that not having the share set as 'allowing guest access' creates some problems with Plex being able to see the media files. Media Files in a dataset that is accessible through a share only by a group with approved users (not through guest access), and also accessible to Plex. Ideally, this is what I would like to accomplish: I am very new to FreeNAS and the forums, as I have just built my system and installed the OS not too long ago.
