+## Configuration
 
 ### File System
 Create the following mounted folders or connect a drive with your data.
-- `/pwspool/plex/tvseries`
-- `/pwspool/plex/movies`
-- `/pwspool/plex/photos`
-- `/pwspool/plex/homevideos`

+- `/pwspoola/plex/tvseries`
+- `/pwspool/archive/plex/movies`
+- `/pwspool/archive/plex/photos`
+- `/pwspool/archive/plex/homevideos`
+- `/pwspool/archive/plex/transcode`
+- `/pwspool/archive/plex/downloads`
 
-## Notes
+### Downloads Configuration
+Requires that the `/transcode` and `/downloads` directories are created and linked.
+1. Configure `Settings > Transcoder > Transcoder Temporary Directory` = `/transcode` mount on container.
+2. Configure `Settings > Transcoder > Downloads Temporary Directory` = `/downloads` mount on container.
+3. Configure `Settings > Network > Custom Server Access URLs` to be a CSV of locations to access through.
+- For local this is `http://192.168.1.XXX:32400`, for prod this is the domain.
+
+## Setup
 When navigating to plex, assuming no nginx routing is happening, you must go to `https://[url]/web/index.html#!/` for first time setup.
