I keep my Plex media files on a Qnap NAS, and run Plex from a Linux box.
I had to reinstall Linux Mint 17 on my Plex server.
Since then, I’ve been unable to delete files from my media library using the Plex player. I was able to do this before, but I’ve forgotten how I did it.
The volume on the NAS gets mounted on startup via fstab using:
//192.168.1.93/Plex /media/plex cifs user=plex,password=******,uid=plexuser,gid=multimedia,rw 0 0
The Plex user account for the NAS has RW access to folders and files.
“plexuser” is a Linux user account used for running PMS.
It has RW access to the Plex volume. I’ve tested this by deleting and creating files using Gedit via the Terminal logged in as plexuser.
ls -l
lists the volume’s permissions and groups as:
drwxr-xr-x 2 plexuser multimedia 0 Jan 27 19:44 Movies
drwxr-xr-x 2 plexuser multimedia 0 Jan 27 19:44 TV
The files in the mounted volume are also owned by plexuser.
I did refer to this Plex support page on Linux permissions, but using chmod, chgrp etc did not enable PMS to delete files and folders.
Can anyone advise me what I’ve done wrong and how I can fix the files so Plex deletes them?
To be clear, I’d like PMS to delete files and folders from Plex volume on my NAS.
Thanks.
