Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4472
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: Windows 10
Description of issue:
I regularly find that some downloaded files become “unavailable” in Plex and can’t be played. The weird thing is that they seem to be playable immediately after download, but become unplayable after the torrent is not seeding anymore from uTorrent and has been removed by Sonarr.
In fact the file is unplayable by Plex because it has wrong permissions. The only way to fix that I’ve found it is to change ownership of the file or folder, and apply new permissions.
It’s puzzling me because the folder where I store my video files has “everyone / full access / inherit” permissions, so every file created under it should have full access permissions by anyone.
What I also tried:
- Run Sonarr as the same user Plex is running as
- Change advanced setting “Use Hardlinks instead of Copy” to No
Nothing did seem to make a difference…
I’m out of ideas to try so any help is appreciated.
Here’s my full setup:
- Sonarr service running as user .\Plex
- uTorrent running as a service using NSSM
- Plex running as a service using PmsService as user .\Plex
Thanks in advance
