I understand that this is a limitation has been reported by I’ve tried all that possible to see if it was relative to the way I set it up, but failed to find a solution till I stumbled by the same experience and issues posted by a lot number of users.

Does anyone know a way around this, or if this will change in the future? This seems very limiting, and from the little bit of documentation I can find, this seems to have been done by design. This makes having custom libraries apart from the defaults impossible.įor example, I can add as many “Movie” type libraries as I want, but they will all point to the “Shared Movies” directory inside the Plex folder, and as a result, will display the same content. PMS doesn’t appear to recognize custom library folders on the WD My Cloud Home drive. Thus proving it impossible to create/sort any media file other than dumping it all under the default generic folders created on the WD My Cloud Home. Having bought the device, with all enthusiasm I setup my Plex Media Server on the WD My Cloud Home, which created a Plex directory with default sub-directories for each category (home movies, movies, music, photos etc.)Īll these steps were relatively painless to follow, till I discovered that I cannot add any libraries or modify the default ones to include any sub directories to classify any of my media content as its missing the “Add folders” tab.Ĭreating a new library is possible on the Plex web app however neither an option to add/point the physical library is available nor a physical drive folder is created on the WD My Cloud Home. I recently invested (like many others) in purchasing a “WD My Cloud Home” device that what was advertised to run many other applications including Plex with an option to customize/tailor the settings to suit our requirements.
