SOLVED: Jellyfin permissions

[acuz3r]

Hello,

I have a jellyfin server (10.8.13) running on an Ubuntu server (22.04.4 LTS)

I have set my media files in /media/stuff/movies and media/stuff/shows/ and gave the paths to jellyfin for both libraries. The only problem is that everytime I add new content, I have to run this command for example :

Code:

chmod -R 775 /media/stuff/movies

or else jellyfin won't be able to read the file (although the content is showing up in the app). 

Am I missing something here ? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks !

That is normal. If another user creates a file/folder it will set the permissions appropriate for that user. New files/folders do not inherit permissions from the folders they are in. If there is a way to make Linux have new files/folders inherit permissions, I have yet to find it.

Looks like there is a way. For what you want, I think you just have to use the sticky bit for group permissions.

Also, I didn't mean to mark this as a solution, but I can't undo it. DOH!

Did you ever find a solution for this? I am having exact same issue by using another user and uploading over SCP.

This is one of the dozen reasons why Radarr and Sonarr are helpful to manage your media library. They apply correct chown and chmod when they move files.

Thanks for patching in!
I would be open to this but I don't want anything to do with the download features, I only want the file naming sorting function. Which one would be the best match then?

I don't use either, but everyone I've suggested Tiny Media Manager to have loved it.
