Still having problems setting permissions

[Michael1952 1]

Hi everyone, I am stuck again setting the permissions for the folder Films. I don't understand why the commands chmod or setfacl won't change the permissions for the folder. Can someone fill me in?

I can't set up my folders for my library. I can't select the Films folder. Thanks for any help on this. I know it's like I am beating a dead horse but I had to redo my Ubuntu and set up Emby again and ran into this problem again.

Hi there, have you taken a look at this?

chmod 775 -R Films

 

being a folder it needs to be recursive, try that and let us know how it goes. 

 

also keep in mind that even if the folder Films has the right permissions you still may not see the folder from Emby as the parent folder should also have the right permissions to be accessed, so you may want to try that command on /media/MIchael as well.

Thanks for the responses folks. I got hung up on another project and didn't get back till now. Thanks Luke I read the post you suggested and it cleared up a lot of questions I had. 

BobbyCR. Hi,  I did run that as a recursive command and it didn't seem to help the situation. I am in the process of moving all of my Emby server to a new dedicated computer and will get back to this as the situation (if the situation), arises again.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.
