Anyone having problems deleting media from the Plex client UI? When I try to delete using icon I get this message "Unable to delete media. Please check your file permissions"
I used to be able to do this with my old Plex warden jail but can no longer do it since I've gone to an iocage jail installation. I definitely have "Allow media deletion" checked in the server settings. I tried setting 777 permissions on my media shares but im still getting the same message. I think it has something to do with the permissions inside of the actual Plex jail but I know from the past that you need to be careful with permissions inside of jails.
Anyone have any ideas?
Below is what I see when I browse through Putty to the folder I have my shares mounted inside jail. All shares are mounted to the /plex/mnt directory inside jail
And here's the share itself
Looks like in the first example, the folder that contains my shares is missing a write permission. Im a little hesistant to change that permission as its the actual jail and in the past I've screwed things up messing with those. Does that look like why I can't delete movies from the Plex client? If so, what's the syntax to change permission of that mount directory? Im guessing its chmod 777 inside /mnt directory.
EDIT: Ok, I just tried changing permission of the /plex/mnt directory to chmod 777 and im still getting the same permissions issue
In the first command I see the config is mounted "rw" but in the second the share is mounted "ro"
What does the "o" in "ro" mean? shouldn't it be "rw" as well?
