April 12, 20188 yr Hey all, Suspect this is just a permissions issue but what i have found searching so far hasnt worked. I am trying to create optimized versions of some of my plex media and i get "Converted files cannot be written to the server's disk" when it tries to write. Looking online folks suggested that it was because the plex account didnt have access to write to that folder. Within my movie folder i created a folder called "Plex Versions" and tried to change the ownership to plex by sudo chown plex:plex /media/movies/Plex\ Versions The command executes without any complaints but it doesnt seem to actually work because A: plex still cant write and if i do ls -la /media/plex/movies/Plex\ Versions I get total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 blindsay root 0 APR 12 17:01 drwxr-xr-x 2 blindsay root 0 APR 12 17:01 any ideas?

April 12, 20188 yr Did you make sure when you pointed your Optimized version in the Docker Settings template that it has Read/Write Permission not just read?

I have this running out of an unbuntu VM, not as a docker app. and to clarify /media/plex is a folder on the ubuntu VM and then i mounted my unraid media folder on that with the cifs utils and editing the fstab file so thats how i get /media/plex/movies Edited April 12, 20188 yr by Blindsay
