Server Version#: PlexMediaServer-1.23.6.4881-e2e58f321-x86_64_DSM7.spk (for Intel 64-bit processor)
Followed guidance on plex forum posts as best I could to allow PMS the correct permissions to allow it to install, although as you will see later some of the on screen instructions shown in the screenshots of ChuckPA’s guidance no longer appear to exist in the most recent release e.g. there is no “custom” setting on the permissions tab in DMS 7
Uninstalled Old version of Plex which only worked for DMS 6 and restarted the NAS before attempting a manual install of the latest version of PMS. The Plex Media Server was installed on the same volume as the Plex share on my NAS. Choices made during install:
Installation Option: Tried selecting Normal and using Plex Claim token made no difference
Logging Options: Chose use PMS internal Storage
Get Pre-installation check failure notice that halts install
Issues:
PlexMediaServer the Custom checkbox mentioned in ChuckPA guidance no longer exists in my version of DMS7 or I am looking in the wrong place (see screenshots)
There is no option offer made to click Apply permissions to this folder, sub-folders during my install
I am not sure what additional permissions I have to give PMS in order to satisfy its needs to allow the install to proceed
hope somebody can help with these questions and issues because at the moment I have no working version of Plex with which to access my Media files
Yes I realise that and I have read the guidance that you link to and I believe I have provided the access permissions required, see my post and the screenshots within, but the installer when doing the pre-install checks still thinks there is some area where permissions are not sufficient. So I want to know which additional permissions might be required or perhaps where there is some fault in my following or understanding of the migration instructions. Please also note some of the DSM screen shots in the migration instructions may be out of date as some of the options shown as part of the migration instructions are not available in my installed version,
I do have a plexmediaserver object listed under permissions tab but I only have read\write options available when editing permissions there is no “Full Control” option and no tick box at the bottom of the screen to apply changes to this folder, subfolder and files only a “Save” button
That convert to Windows ACL was not greyed out for the plex shared folder I have kicked off the conversion now. Does it take a long time if you have loads of media files?
OK convert to windows ACL action completed and I restarted the NAS
When I access the Plex shared folder permissions I now see the “Customise” option allows me to set permissions for the PMS so as you can see I set permissions for everything admin rights, read and write permissions
