Plex seems to be running as chris

chris@FractalMediaServer:~$ ps aux | grep plex

So I went back looked at my data drive permissions and reset them to be owner and group chris. My DVR is now recording again. Thank you again for you help! I hope I get to pay this forward at some point in the future.

Those hidden directories (e.g. .grab) will get you every time. Thatā€™s why itā€™s important to follow the procedure as I wrote them.

Iā€™m glad you found it. Now youā€™ll know next time :+1:
