<br />
yy for your help
</div>


<div>
It looks like the path /home/gaaara/srv has spaces in it. &nbsp;Did you enter that somewhere in plex?<br />
<br />
It is actually trying to access &quot;/&quot; which is root, because the spaces are not escaped.<br />
<br />
Read more about escaping spaces here:<br />

<br />
You have to remove the spaces from the path.
