I’m having some issues getting MCEBuddy to do post-processing with plex DVR for files located on my NAS with mapped network drives. I am using the MCEBuddyv2.bat script from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/52v7vd/guide_commercialfree_experience_with_plex_dvr/ to start the post-processing, but I keep getting an error message within MCE buddy “does not exist or MCEBuddy doesn’t have read permissions.” I have tried troubleshooting, I can manually add files from the .grab folder using MCEbuddy, so not sure what the issue is. Has anyone encountered this before, or have any suggestions?
Never tried recording to NAS device directly. Have seen other posts where people were having issues recording directly to a NAS. You could record to internal drive, let mcebuddy process the file there and have a separate scheduled task that runs to move file from internal drive to NAS. I use a similar process to move certain shows to my Dropbox so they are accessible using Plex Cloud. One line in other script something like:
robocopy /MOVE /S “C:\Recorded TV” “E:\Dropbox\Plex Cloud\TV_Shows”
How is the mcebuddy software accessing the content. Is it a drive that is mapped with a drive letter on the host it is on or is it using a UNC path like
asdevice\share
You need to read down the comments in that Reddit thread. It actually directly talks about the issue you are asking about. Basically a update to the script is needed to use the UNC path instead of the direct path with a drive letter.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried the script as is, as well as modifying the script to use the UNC path instead of the mapped drive letter and am getting the same error message with both methods.
does the user that is being assigned have access to read the video from the NAS. that is what the error is saying. Do you have any way to check the NAS appliance for deny’s
