What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have connected my external server to my Plex via rclone.
The configuration is ftp
I can see and query the data from the other server via rclone ftp:, but I have no drive or path in Plex
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.53.3-DEV
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.15.9
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
this is a Seedbox. Also a FTP /sftp Server
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
Paste command here
mkdir ~/Multimedia
rclone mount ftp: ~/Multimedia/
#### Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag
Paste log here
???that version is three years old
- best to uninstall that using package manager.
- reinstall using https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation
- test again
Hi, i have now update of 1.64.
Now i have the connection to my other Server.
How can I now add this and then also store or see it in Plex?

You will find plenty of examples on Internet and this forum, e.g.:
If you run into any issues post all details as asked in the Help and Support template and somebody will try to help.
Thx, i became this Message:
root@vmd122137:~# rclone mount box:/files/Filme /media/Multimedia/ --daemon --allow-other
2023/11/15 13:34:45 Fatal error: mount not ready: /media/Multimedia
Is this the Path correct : rclone mount remote:????path/to/files?? = "/files/Filme"
Post all details as per template. You said ftp. Now you are trying to connect to box. Nobody can guess what you are doing.
I'm trying to connect to another server using rclone.
There is 1 folder "Files" in this folder there are 4 other folders. "Movies, documentaries, etc"
box is the name for the ftp
I created the following connection using rclone config:
IP
users
password
If I now rclone lsd box:
I also get a result from the other server, namely the folders that I mentioned above.
Now I would like to store these folders or their contents in Plex, but this is not yet possible with the instructions you provided.

root@vmd122137:~# rclone lsd ftp:
-1 2023-10-31 08:59:10 -1 files
-1 2021-06-18 13:53:11 -1 watch
root@vmd122137:~#
under the Supfolder "Files" they are my Movies etc.
hi,
if that is where the media files are, then use
rclone mount ftp:files ...
fwiw, for testing,
- do not use
--daemon - use
-vvfor debug output
please just copy/paste text into the forum, instead of hard to read sceenshot snippets.
"fusermount3": executable file not found in $PATH
that has been discussed in the forum, so search for fusermount3
If I now execute the command, a short build-up occurs and then it aborts:

that output looks good.
root@vmd122137:~# ls /home/
(List all Files)
root@vmd122137:~#
yes, but in Plex is nothing
your mount command uses /media/Multimedia
i have try in 2 Directory, The data is also displayed in both folders, but nothing can be found in Plex.
not sure what that means?
/media/Multimedia
plex user needs permissions to that directory.
root@vmd122137:~# sudo chown plex /home/
root@vmd122137:~# chmod 777 /home
root@vmd122137:~# sudo chown plex /media/Multimedia/
root@vmd122137:~# chmod 777 /media/Multimedia/
root@vmd122137:~#
I try this, but in Plex, they are No Files
