Oh look another permissions issue

September 26, 2021

Like multiple posts in the past, I have the exact same permissions issues with mkv files. I am mounting with ntfs drives. Like multiple other people, I have read the intro to permissions post so please don't waste time with that. Permissions are fine and every other software I use on this machine doesn't have this issues, so think about that before trying to pass the ball to a paying user.

If this doesn't get resolved, can I get a refund for a broken product?

Below are the log files that don't really help the situation but I am sure you will ask for them:
