Sonarr cannot establish filepaths

[chris pucknell]

Hey guys

I've been trying to switch from Sickrage(unreliable, seemed to miss lots of episodes) to Sonarr, which is supposedly a lot more user friendly.

I cannot get Sonarr to add a new series. I've added storage to the jail, just as i've done before with other plugins. It seems happy to connect to my transmission and sabnzbd plugins, but for some reason won't see Plex either.

When trying to add a series in the gui, after putting in the filepath "/media/TV_Series/" and hitting the tick button, nothing happens. Eventually a series of error messages appear, but not always.

I've checked at the jail storage paths are correct and mounted.

I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

I've seen a few guides around online for doing a manual install, so was thinking of giving that a go. Is there something i'm missing here?

Cheers!

Were you able to figure this out?

could you show the permission of the path to verify it's permission levels/ownership

Code:

ls -l /media
ls -l /media/TV_Series

OK it definitely seems to be a permissions thing. Maybe. That was surely part of it anyway!

I performed chmod 777 /media/Downloads and I was then able to add a series for download, into the download directory. I was unable to add into the TV_Series directory, or change the TV_Series permissions. My permissions look like this:

drwxrwxrwx 99 1001 1001 125 Jun 8 21:07 Downloads
drwxrwxr-x+ 1184 1001 1001 1184 May 7 12:30 Films
drwxrwxrwx 176 1001 1001 178 Jun 8 18:20 Incomplete
drwxrwxr-x+ 62 1001 1001 62 May 5 18:44 TV_Series

The next challenge is to figure out how to add indexers... I am out of my depth.

The TV_Series directory has 775 permissions. Only users with the UID 1001, and users in the group with GID 1001, can write to that directory.

Also, you have windows ACLs enabled on that directory, so that can add additional complications to writing.
