Stupid Newb here. Request Failed: Root folder path '/mnt/VIDEO/TV/' is not writable by user 'pi'

[Patrick]

I’ve been messing with this for 2 days and my mind is no longer clear on it.
Tried multiple mappings using different users. Adjusted different users access’ and nothing.
Spent 2 hours going thru forums and trying stuff. still stuck. SickRage i didnt have this issue with but i want to use SONARR.

HELP!!!

As it says the user “pi” doesn’t have write permissions to the folder “/mnt/VIDEO/TV”. Either own the file (sudo chown -R pi:pi /mnt/VIDEO/TV) or you add the user “pi” to the group associated with the folder “TV” (sudo usermod -a -G groupname pi). You can see the group of the folder via “ls -l /mnt/VIDEO/TV”.
