Hello!
I am using Yosemite to download with NzbDrone. Everything is local on the same drive.
The thing is that I have a personal way of dealing with files so when the download is done I usually move all the files to a new destination (root, I don’t like folder hierarchies…).
Anyways. The script I use gave me errors because the folders created by NzbDrone when adding new series set the owner to “Root” instead of me. Other than that everything is fine.
So when I try to move the files it gives me a permission error. I tried moving one file into the NzbDrone folders and I also get a write permission error.
The thing is fixed quite easily if I change the parent folder and ask the subfolders to inherit. But it’s a pain I admit it.
I tried to tweak the settings but could not find the corresponding section.
Cheers!
Do you have Sonarr running via a plist that runs as root? If so you should backup the config and move it to a user plist:
Or set the permissions on the files/folders created, using the advanced settings on Media Management.

Okay it took me a while to understand all this but it did help. Creating the plist in the users library instead of the root library did solve the problem. So thanks a lot! (I had followed the screenshot tutorial btw)
Of course I was so focused that I forgot to make a backup of the config, but the soft is so user-friendly that it only takes a few seconds to setup…
I had tried to mess with the permissions in the Media Management settings but it did not work when the plist was in the root.
Question: now that the plist is in the user library, do I need to create a script that will run on launch with the specified terminal commands or will it be automatically triggered on reboot? (like the root plist used to)
Thanks
It should be triggered on boot or login (not sure which), if its not starting recheck the config because thats how plists are supossed to work.
