Any update to this “Could not move recorded media to destination” error. This is very frustrating and I and missing most of my recordings.
You’ll need to post your logs. Also your server version number and OS platform that your server is installed on.
I am on Linux Mint 19.3. and Plex latest 1.18.9. I finally had everything working for couple of weeks and then it all failed. Not sure why I had added a HD to system around same time, but didn’t change my directories for saving. All my old programs fail but if I add a new one or record on the fly plex sometimes seems to work. I have tried to delete my old programs and re-add but they never work.Plex Media Server Logs_2020-03-26_10-05-40.zip (4.6 MB) Plex Media Server Logs_2020-03-26_10-05-40.zip (4.6 MB) .I am getting no write access or could not move (mostly) error.
Thanks
This is not related to the issue on this forum thread but your problem appears to extensive issues with your filesystem access and permissions.
I am going to move your post to a separate forum topic - as the error to move media file to destination is only a tiny fraction of the number of permission errors logged
Are you proficient with Linux ?
This shows the extent of the problem

@tpmccright_gmail_com I have moved your post out of the thread you posted into because your problem is much more than just an error moving a recording
cc @ChuckPa
It appears you have your disk auto-mounted under /media. This is generally a bad idea because of how Ubuntu/Gnome handle ownership/permissions of auto-mounted disks. Specifically, no matter how you set permissions, no user other than yourself will be able to access the data contained on such a mounted disk. This includes the user plex, under which Plex Media Server runs.
This guide shows how to set up manual mounting for the disk(s) and assign correct permissions so that Plex can access them:
If you want to try something else, which I’m not sure will be supported, you can try modifying the ACLs for the auto-mount home for your user to allow Plex access. To do so, run the following command:
sudo setfacl -m u:plex:rx /media/dad/
This will allow user plex read and execute permissions to the dad directory, under which your disk is being mounted.
Just to be clear, the forum post I linked above is the recommended way of giving Plex access to your externally mounted disks. The other directions I posted are just something you can test. I myself have had success this way.
