February 27, 201313 yr Hi, I previously posted a similar problem but at the time I believed that the problem was related to a separate program. so i'm now trying to fix a slightly different problem: I have plex running on my unraid system and things are going well. for example, all tv shows work flawlessly Movies are my problem, and it's a weird one- after downloading a movie with sab (also running on unraid), i can refresh my plex library so that it sees the movie, and play it fine. so what's the problem? a few hours later, i go to play it again and get an error message saying the file is 'unavailable' and that i should check file permissions. When i check permissions through Putty, i can see that the movie file is showing permissions such as: -rw------- 1 nobody users 7038598033 2013-02-21 13:37 veto-theterminators-1080p.mkv I THINK this means that basically no one can have read access except 'nobody'? i'm trying to understand permissions. I CAN play this file from my PC just fine, and plex sees it fine, but plex won't play it. If i run fix permissions through unraid, and re run plex, it works fine again (but this takes HOURS) and i'm concerned about the wear and tear on the drives. This NEVER happens with tv shows (i'm using sab and sickbeard, along with sickbeard post processing script, all running on unraid) It seems like something is changing my file permissions on downloaded movies after a certain amount of time. i wonder if its related to my cache drive- in other words plex sees it on the cache drive, and plays it fine, but after the mover script runs, permissions are changed somehow? Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve? EDIT: just noticed that sab is running as user: nobody. should i try to change this to root, or other?
