Server Version#: 1.26.2.5797 Player Version#: 4.82.1 With Chuck’s help, I managed to get Plex running in a Docker container on my Synology running DSM 7.1. I was excited because I was also able to get hardware transcoding working. However, I think I found a problem with being able to delete media …

I assume you mean when I log into Plex. I’ve only ever logged into Plex as my one user, which owns the server. Note that at one time delete from the Plex web was working, then I switched to the docker thing and it hasn’t worked since. This is not a real big deal as I’m well versed in the rm(1) comm…

Are the files you’re trying to delete in the local filesystem or are they NFS mounted? Remember, you still must satisfy NFS permissions to delete something … otherwise the mount will be as “nobody:nobody” which can, at best, read-only

Well through delete from the Plex web page I’m not sure what user is in play. From my Ubuntu desktop, they are NFS mounted. Sometimes I manipulate files by ssh’ing into my Synology. no_root_squash - root can be root over NFS: Jupiter:sudo cat /etc/exports /volume1/homes 192.168.0.0/24(rw,async,n…

give me a few to experiment please. I’m going to cross mount a few things and see what happens :smiling_imp:

Do me a favor? List the contents of one mounted directory from the Linux side. Now SSH into the Syno and list that same directory. On the Syno ssh, you should see the ACLs attached, chuck@ds418:/volume1/Animated$ ls -la total 432 drwxrwxrwx+ 104 chuck root 4096 Jun 25 2020 . drwxr-xr-x 48 ro…

Me? Not impressed with DSM 7 ? How dare you say such a thing! :scream: :rofl: How do you assert the permissions again? Just as I showed you File Station → Properties → Permissions → Change permissions if required → Apply to this folder, sub-folders, and files SAVE DSM will now reappl…

To be clear (for future readers): Started File Station (I rarely use File Station) Right clicked on Media (Videos, Pictures and Music are under this) Select Permissions The user PlexMediaServer already has Read & Write permissions! Selected PlexMediaServer anyway and clicked on Edit. I now see: […
