joncy92 5 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi, I'm having an issue with using external subtitles on my Kodi players. I am using embycon. I have configured my libraries to download subtitles on import which is working fine. The issue is emby sets the file permissions to 770 (rwxrwx---). For the Kodi players to see the SRT files I've had to manually set the permissions to 777. Is there any way to make this happen when the files are created, or is there something else fundamentally wrong with my setup? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 @makarai @MRobi Can you think of any freebsd settings that might influence this? This is just the way the mono runtime creates the files but I'm wondering if there's any OS settings that might impact this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncy92 5 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 I've started using Bazarr to grab subs. It's also built on mono and allows you to set permissions if that helps at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It might be using native methods to do that because the .net file APIs don't offer that kind of granularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the files are created as 770 there would need to be some process after the fact to change to 777 after processing. Although I just checked a few of my subtitle files and they're all 777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this sounds to me like a traditional file permission or user issue. What user and what group are you using for bazarr? When you have freshly created files and folders look at that first. Secondly you could play with the umask_set=XXX setting if you run bazarr on docker. Good choice to run bazarr especially the newest version with ffsubsync included which aligns the subs to the actual audio of the video automatically, this has become a fantastic addon and made me abandon all the sub additions in emby.
