November 10, 20223 yr The problem: -some videos(and other files) will not play or get recognized when on the Unraid shared drive: -I wrote a python program that uses .glob() to scan the files, and it bombs out on a number of files.(.html, .mp4, .zip, .ipygp), saying it "cannot locate" these files -I have thousands or more files, and this only happens to a few, maybe 1% -In Windows, When I open up the file properties, the "security tab" is missing, other functioning files do have the security tab. Solutions I have tried, and none have resolved the issue: -In Windows changing the permissions from a higher level and propagating them down to these problem files, I get an error message -In Unraid: using "Docker Save New Perms" to restore ownership and permissions. -In Unraid, I changed the security to "Public" for the shared drive. -I have updated my network card drivers per this recomendation(https://forums.unraid.net/topic/75277-video-files-will-not-play/). FYI: I have had other issues with dropping network in the past, but I don't think this is related. Here's what's weird: -If I copy these very same "corrupted" files to another drive, they perform as expected, perfectly, so they are likely not actually corrupt files. -If I open in Windows "Movies & TV" program, they will run(not Potplayer, vlc, still bombing out my Python app) Specs: -Unraid 6.11.1 -Windows 10 -I am newish to Unraid, and Python Any help is apprecieated, and let me know if any more info is needed.
