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 😃  
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 😃

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!!!
