Didn’t you mean to say that the other way?
- User
PlexMediaServerisn’t able to read the files. - The username the downloaded movies writes with doesn’t grant permission for PlexMediaServer to read them.
There are two steps to resolving this:
-
In the downloading tools, make sure the final permissions mask is set to 755. (755 gets applied to directories and 644 gets applied to files which allows PlexMediaServer to read them
-
To fix those already written.
Re-apply the permissions to existing files in the shared folder(s) containing media.
