This is an obvious exaggeration. It would longer just to consolidate media into Plex libraries.

Wow. Here's a clue
sudo cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/https.conf.bak
sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# hint: learn apache once, use many times
sudo ln -s /Directories/you/want/apache/to/see /Library/WebServer/Documents/
sudo apachectl start
Took me less than 10 minutes.
- lethologica 3y agoWhat on Earth are you talking about? There are two folders for “libraries” a TV folder and a Movies folder. I save media into the corresponding folders, point Plex to the folders and Plex takes care of the rest. It’s a ten second process. Thanks for the script. I have no interest in learning how it works, though, I just want to watch a darn movie…

Unnecessary step, and if it only takes you 10 seconds, you really have no media to speak of: when it is TB of media, you're fucked. > Thanks for the script. Not a script, just a few loose commands.
