FAQ 29 - DSM 7 - Give PlexMediaServer access to your media
When you migrate to DSM 7, are installing a server for the first time, or just adding a new shared folder / sub-folder for media , folks forget to read the popup at the end of every installation which tells them about how to set permissions.
This FAQ shows in detail how to do what those instructions state.
When might you need to perform these steps?
When upgrading, changing permissions from Plex to PlexMediaServer is overlook…
Perhaps this?
(DSM 6 = “Plex”, DSM 7 = “PlexMediaServer”)
It has the same permissions as the other folders.
When you set permissions on the shared folder for “System Internal User” (NOT local user) PlexMediaServer,
Did you also check the box “Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files” ?
(Plex is not a privileged program. You must expressly give permission to everything in the shared folder because of how Synology ACLs work)
Thank you the upgrade was it. I had give the system permission as well this time,
Seems to be working now thanks
