Right now I did a test adding Rick and Morty all seasons to my plex. Only the first episode is showing up on season 1. Season 2 and 3 are missing, and Season 4 is almost all there but missing episode 4. I tried refreshing my browser with both a SHIFT-REFRESH and an ALT-REFRESH and still my episodes…

Right here: (In most cases the g+s is more than enough) $ sudo find ./inherit -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \; This sets the Group +s (inherit) flag on the file named within the {}. The whole statement reads as: Using root privileges Find Starting with ./inherit and descending into that entir…

User plex doesn’t have access to the files.

That worked! Now I need to tune it to where it does it by itself.

It’s all right here in Linux Tips (tag) [image] Linux Tips Tips, Tricks & How-Tos Automating Linux permissions using inheritance (helps with DVR/LiveTV too) Linux has a very powerful and convenient way of automatically setting the permissions of your media files as you ad…

I added my username and the username plex to the user group “media”, and set my media folder’s group to media and i still have to run those CHMOD commands to get it to find new media.

So I added a chronjob to run those commands every 30 minutes. But I feel as my library gets bigger, it will bog down the server more and more to run those commands. My folder is named plexmedia under /home/josh/plexmedia , but even though I added the username josh and the username plex to the group …

this is why you use the inheritance flags ( setUID and setGID ). By doing so, the permissions are set by the operation system when the file is created. It’s a completely passive operation. Did you actually follow the example I gave as I wrote it (to play with in /tmp) ? If you used another l…

I followed exactly the way your guide tells me. I don’t know where I do the setuid and setgid tags though. Do I have to use that tag every time I import media? Because I am having Radarr do that for me. What I did, hopefully it works, is I went into advanced settings of Radarr, and had it to where …

Supplemental: You have folders and files backwards. Folders = 755 Files = 644 The “x” is needed to traverse (go deeper – aka execute through) a directory.

Yeah I did that but it doesn’t repeat itself. Like I keep on having to run it when I add new media. I want to automate it somehow.

Is this on an EXT file system? It should “just work”. Here, typos included :slight_smile: [chuck@lizum ~.501]$ [chuck@lizum ~.501]$ [chuck@lizum ~.501]$ cd /tmp [chuck@lizum /tmp.502]$ mkdir spontaneous [chuck@lizum /tmp.503]$ sudo chgrp plex spontaneous [chuck@lizum /tmp.504]$ sudo g+s s…
