Help with Permissions (can no longer Delete media)

[jellowe 8]

I had to completely rebuild my server. All I have from the old server are the hard drives containing my media (movies, tv, music).

 

On the old server I had no problem being able to delete media via Theater. I select the movie or episode, click the Trash icon, "Are you sure" yes... and media was deleted. No problem.

 

On new server, I see in the logs "Access to path d:\movies\whatever\whatever.avi is denied" so I assume it is a permissions problem.

 

Emby Theater is running on client computer. This computer is where I am trying to delete a movie.

 

On the server I have set up a share \\SERVER\Movies (physical path D:\Movies). File permissions are:

 

Administrators (Full Control, folder and files)

CREATOR OWNER (blank permissions)

SYSTEM (Full Control, folder and files)

HTPC (user which Emby is installed and runs under. This user is in Administrators group) (Full Control, folder and files).

 

Since this was not working, I changed Emby to run as a service. I tried running under the local system account, still could not delete media. I changed it to run under the user HTPC (who is admin) and still cannot delete media.

 

I have also verified that the media files are NOT read-only.

 

I seem to be missing something. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

This second log file may be better example. I enabled debug logging and restarted the server, then tried to delete a media title.

Yea i do see an access failure:

	System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'About.Cherry.2012.480p.BRRip.XviD.AC3-NYDIC (1).avi' is denied.

Are you sure the windows user account has write access to that location? Also, check and see if the file is marked as readonly or hidden. That could be causing it too. Thanks !

Ok I feel a little stupid now  

 

I set the proper NTFS permissions but since the clients access via server share (\\server\movies) I did not set the proper share permissions.

 

Working now
