  • Un-Enabling an SMB share before deleting

    I'm new to OMV. I'm coming over from a 6 year old Synology NAS I've been using. One thing that confused me greatly for several hours is the fact that if you don't Un-'Enable' the SMB share before deleting the SMB share, you'll have a very difficult time deleting it from the 'Shared Folder'. I made the mistake at first of simply deleting the SMB share without Un-'Enabling' and I couldn't get it to delete from 'Shared Folders' no matter what I did. I went through uninstalling each and every plug-ins, removing all users, turning off each and every service, all to no avail.


    It seems like it would make more sense for OMV to auto Un-'Enable' the SMB share if the user selects 'Delete' for a currently enabled SMB share. Thoughts?

  • Plex can't see folders

    Any ideas on why it needs to use group permissions to see the folders? I had ensured the 'Others:read-only' option was set when I created the Shared Folder. From the other threads that has been sufficient for Plex to see the folders.

    I sometimes have problems reading files when plex is not in the "users"
    group. It should work without, but I have less problems since that:
    usermod -a -G users plex and a service plexmediaserver restart after that.


    This worked! So apparently Plex can't see the directories with the 'other' permissions it needed to get access through being part of the user group. I'm glad it worked, but this seems odd considering what I've seen in the other threads.

    How do you have your movies organized? Movies --> A, B, C or just all Movies in this one folder?


    I have a single movie in the Movie directory right now for the purpose of testing it out. I have a single mp3 in the Music directory.

    What is the file system Extention?


    .mp4 for the movie and .mp3 for the Music file.

    What File permissions do the movies have?


    They inherited the correct permissions:


    Code
    root@openmediavault:/media/d8d177bb-9add-4024-88c3-b1d3a95206c5/Movies# ls -l
total 9104

  • Plex can't see folders

    I've just starting using OMV a couple of days ago. I'm learning a lot using VirtualBox while I wait for the hardware to arrive and I assemble the machine. I've gotten just about everything I need figured out except for Plex.


    Originally tried to use minidlna, and it looked like it was going to work, but my Samsung TV said that it was unable to play when I tried to play an mp4 home movie. Looking through the forums most recommendations were to use Plex, so I switched over to try to get that to work.


    I've gotten through most of my issues looking through old forum posts, except I seem to be stuck with Plex not seeing the folders I've created. I know this is the topic of several threads before and I swear I've tried everything they've tried several times. I've recreated the shared directories with the proper permissions, I've reset the shared directory permissions, I've re-created the SMB shares, reinstalled Plex, restarted the server.


    The permission look okay from what I can tell below (read permissions for others):


    Any ideas on why when I go into Plex to create a Library I don't see the folders show up when I get to the "Add folders" step? It just shows blank when I get to '/media/d8d177bb-9add-4024-88c3-b1d3a95206c5'.


    Thanks in advance.
