If this doesn’t fix it then there is another problem somewhere else which I don’t know if I can resolve without hands-on (which i can’t do from here in the forum)
Stop Plex
- Open File Station
- Left Panel - Right-Click Plex
- Properties
- Permissions
You’ll see the permissions for the Plex share as seen
- You’ll see user
plexlisted. - On some systems, I’ve seen
plexlisted twice. - We’re going to fix that now and reset the permissions for the entire Plex share
Here we go.
- Delete user(s) plex from the Permissions window.
- Don’t delete any other usernames listed
- Now click “Create”
- Popup appears
- In the Username box (at the top) is a selector.. Click it.
- Scroll down the drop box and find Plex.. check the box
- click in somewhere else and the box will close - showing user ‘plex’
- Now to assign permissions (everything)
- OK that
- When that closes, we are back at the main Permissions tab
- Lower left - Apply to this folder, sub-folders, and files. – CHECK that box.
- Click OK
- Let it do its thing.
- When done, Start Plex
