Check for application updates failed error message in logs.

[gleep52 17]

The scheduled task to check for updates keeps failing for me.  Brand new install.  I moved the cache to a larger HD (local disk, full permissions).  But I see this error:

 

Check for application updates failed.

Access to the path 'D:\Emby_Stuff\cache\httpclient\f70ca6622474da8168a3b6c06f651a16' is denied.

 

Any ideas why that's happening and what I can do to fix it?

 

Thanks!

It is trying to save something to your custom cache folder and is being denied access to do that.

Yeah but I don't see why - what user is it trying to do that with?  It's a folder and file it created itself... I added the "everyone" profile and now it works, but thought I should report it since it seems like a bug maybe?

Whatever Windows user the server was started under. We're not involved with that at all so we really have no control over that. We just ask the system to copy or save a file or something of that nature.

The user was administrator, who is part of the administrator's group obviously... it said I didn't have access to the file until I set it to everyone.  The system creator object was not on these folders - I think that's the problem.  Not sure why though - but perhaps moving the cache directories causes this bug if you wanted to try to repeat it.  The media transcoder cache folder was the same way.

BTW - when I tried to change the root folder that has both other emby created folders within it - it told me it didn't have permissions to modify the two subfolders.  They were not inheriting permissions.  So whatever process happens during the install and creation of these folders when changing the cache folder and transcode folders in the server settings do not appear to create the folder inherently.  Looks like it's custom somehow.  Just FYI.  Trying to help.
