Trickplay Generation Task Restart - abcdefghijh3 - 2024-12-02
Hey Guys,
For the last few days i was running trickplay image generation task. It was at around 90% when i had to end the task because i had to restart the server. After i restartet the server, i startet the task again expecting it to pickup at 90% again. But it started at 0,3% and is currently at 0,4%. All the trickplay images it generated are still in /tmp folder.
Is this normal behavior? Do I have to wait 4 Days again? What about the images in /tmp?
Edit: I suspect the trickplay images are getting saved into the /tmp folder because the log shows that jellyfin has no write permission to my exfat drive. How can i allow jellyfin to be able to write to my exfat drive?
EDIT 2: Figured it out. Its obivous to Linux Gurus but for someone who has the same problem and also has no idea how linux file permissions work. 1st unmount your exfat drive. 2nd "sudo chown jellyfin:jellyfin /your/mount/point". 3rd edit in /etc/fstab add the uid and gid of the jellyfin user. For example my entry: "/mnt/My_Book auto uid=122,gid=124,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0". 4. mount the drive and check with ls -lh /your/mount/point if jellyfin owns the path
