Hi everyone!
First of all I want to thank the OMV team for such a great software!
I'm doing something rather complicated (for my poor linux skills!) and i'm looking for some help! Here is my setup : I have one NAS (rooted WD MyCloud 2TB) running the latest OMV Stoneburner and an Odroid XU4 (eMMC 16GB) running Debian jessie Headless.
Plex Media Server is installed on the Odroid XU4 (better processing power than the WD MyCloud). What I'm doing is mount all the shares created on the OMV NAS (i.e. music and videos) in the Odroid XU4 /mnt/samba/mycloud/* folder so I can scan them from the PMS web interface. For now it works perfecty. First I tried to mount the OMV 'photos' share directly in '/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Media\ Upload/Photos/' with no success. I then found a tutorial suggesting to create a symlink with the 'Photos' name redirecting to the folder (local folder, not a samba share) where you want the mobile photos uploaded.
So what I did is temporarely mount the Photos share, and created the symlink :
sudo mount -t cifs //OMVSERVER_IP/photos /mnt/samba/mycloud/photos -o credentials=/root/.smbcredentials
(where .smbcredentials contains username=USERNAME,password=USERNAME_PASSWORD)
sudo ln -s /mnt/samba/mycloud/photos /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Media\ Upload/Photos
I changed the owner and group to plex:nogroup :
sudo chown -h plex:nogroup /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Media\ Upload/Photos
The photos are "uploaded" to PMS but I can't find them in the 'Photos' share. And I can only see the thumbnails in the Plex app. In Odroid XU4, I ckecked the user:group on /mnt/samba/mycloud/photos and it is 'root:user' (default when OMV creates a share). To test, in the NAS OMV, I created a 'plex' user assigned with 'nogroup' then changed the 'Photos' ACL the plex:nogroup. When I checked the the user:group again in Odroid XU4, it showed 1005:nogroup. So my guess is that the UID for the plex user in the NAS is not the same in Odroid XU4. Indeed the default plex UID in the latter is 108.
What can I do to make it work without messing with my PMS config? Can I change the plex UID? Do you have another suggestion? Idea?
Thanks!
PS. Sorry for my bad english
