You should not enter any show folders if the scanning process is not complete.

The files in your ‘iZombie’ folder look perfectly regular and a properly executed Plex Dance should make them available.

I found this:
Feb 29, 2016 16:37:01 [0xedbffb70] ERROR - [Notify] Failed to add watch for /volume2/Data_1/Series/Vikings (13: Permission denied)

Have you checked permissions on these folder(s)? The Syno FAQ (Q5) mentions users Plex and admin
I am no Synology expert, better refer to the pro’s in the Synology subforum on how to change permissions.

After reading carefully what @OttoKerner said this little part of the permissions as put me a bug on the head and I start investigating…

So the folders were moved to my new Harddrivers and I put all my users with access read/write so it should work.

Even so I start reading all the Syno Faq and found the following Q:

Q19: I added media, but it does not show up in Plex?

  • My Exact Problem :smiley:
    and the solution.
    Q18: How do I manually set file permissions using SSH?
    To make chmod 777 to the new folders that I did.

And Guess WHAT??

IT Worked :smiley:

My assumption:

  • I think this is due to SickRage, On Synology when installing it doesn’t add the user to the system. So when I add to my users to new folders it din’t give the sickrage user.

I never thought that was a permission user since I had given to all users read/write by the synology system and forgot the sickrage user

So I will test the move with sickrage with altering the name to see if now works fine.

So I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback and all the support given on this matter.

After my final test I will post a new update

Hope that is cleared the problem and solution.

Thanks All :D!!!
