Unable to Delete Files Through Plex #132

Open myn opened 6 years ago

myn commented 6 years ago

Latest Plex Server Beta channel: Version 1.12.1.4885 on Ubuntu LTS.

Attempted to delete through PlexWeb, Samsung Plex Client as well as Plex Android App. Unable to delete.

Have used fixhome with no success.

Sounds like an issue with permissions since this is a running issue with the likes of Plexdrive which if used with Unionfuse becomes read only it exhibits this issue

I would recommend checking that the Plex user of Linux has access to your media folder either local or mounted

it is a permission issue as the files you are trying to delete belong to the user of quickbox (your username) but plex has it's own user plex and group plex. as they do not belong to the same group you cannot delete files using plex apps or web app, you need to do this with rutorrent filemanager or ftp. myself i install webmin and use the filemanager to manage my files as rutorrent filemanager s*cks

quickbox should get a good filemanager with dual pane view like in windows

For what it's worth, older versions of QB and Plex Server had no issues deleting the media.

Well that is strange because i have been using quickbox for years and it has always been an issue. it has always been like now, plex in it's own group and user which prohibits deletion of files using the app from another user. Before quickbox we used our own script which had the same issues as plex has to run as plex:plex so not sure how it is possible that you had no issues with older versions, maybe the DEV could shed some light on that.

So is there a good solution yet?
