Server Version#: 1.40.0.7998 (Was on 1.20 - Same behavior before Upgrade to 1.40) Hello…I am having an issue when PMS is trying to access the movies and TV libraries that are on a NAS share. I am using CENTOS 7 (Plex MS is installed on this server) and a Synology NAS (Movies and TV files on shares …

[image] Linux Tips Tips, Tricks & How-Tos Mounting NFS network shares for Plex use The basic checklist Prepare the NAS: Create a ‘mount point’ directory structure on your Linux machine which will be where all your media shares are grafted and made available for Plex use.…

That is how I originally set up my environment (Using that article you provided) and it was working perfectly until I upgraded to Synology DSM 7.0. So I do not know what has changed, but my plex user has all the correct permissions on the CentOS O/S and the permissions did not change on the NAS shar…

DSM 7 changed (and often reset) a lot of things NFS is NFS. There’s no rocket science to it. If you’re using SMB then you’ve got problems as SMB doesn’t support multiple UIDs per mount in this environment. Going down the list of things – NFS export rules controls whether or not you can mount…

That is the problem. I did all that and chased this gremlin for a week now. I unmounted it and mounted it and I ended up blowing the CentOS away and doing a fresh build. It is still messed up. CENTOS can see the shares with no issues. See the permissions below: [image] I am not trying to discount …

How are you doing the NFS mount? Are you using sec=sys or are you letting plex:plex be the access UID:GID If using plex:plex, On the Syno — does there exist a username plex (forget about system internal user PlexMediaServer in this case) and does USER plex have access ?

I am using plex:plex for the access to the shares on both the synology NAS and the plex media server O/S. Not familiar with the UID:GID (Sorry I am learning). See below: [image] This is in fstab: 192.x.x.x:/volume2/Movies /nas/movies nfs auto,defaults,nofail,nfsvers=4 0 0 (This is from the …

DSM 7 is an entirely new level of security pucker-factor. This isn’t rocket science. user plex isn’t privileged. Your default username isn’t privileged either. Here’s the mount from the command line: root@lizum:/home/chuck# mount 192.168.0.71:/volume1/Animated /mnt root@lizum:/home/chuck# mou…

I have no problems with viewing the directory structure within CentOS and I have no idea what changed in DSM 7.0 that would keep the PMS from seeing the file structure. I am no wizard at this, but I can tell you from all the testing I have done that all permissions are set correctly wth CentOS. See …

I have no problem with DSM 7 Grant DSM “Everyone” permission. [Screenshot from 2024-02-21 19-30-40] Apologies here. [139949489273656] ERROR - Couldn’t check for the existence of file “/nas/movies/.grab”: boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied [system:13]: “/nas/movies/.grab” The .g…

Perfect! It worked, but why do we need the “Everyone” permission to use Plex…Especially for the “plex” user. That is so convoluted and well very disappointing that they built it into DSM 7 like that. I spent so much time just for that setting that I would think should not even be there, but I guess …
