Unable to delete added media - makem - 2024-07-08
I added 3 media files to my media library at the same time, one after another. I played 1 file and deleted it via the TV.
Few days later I played the remaining 2 files but when I tried to delete them both via the TV I got an error asking to check that Jellyfin has write access to the files.
I checked the permissions - none had ACL (+) and they would have all had the same permissions when added to the media library. But I could delete 1 but not the remaining 2.

For some reason the media folder became not writable

For some reason the forum didn't show me this post as unread.
The ACL would be on /media/makem if there was one.
