Hi,
I tried to follow the tutorial video for the plex plugin.
youtu.be
It’s a video for 11.2 and I have 11.3 but mostly things were as described but I’m still having issues with SMB permissions.
I’ve created the plexuser and set the acl on the new dataset and added the mount point into the plex jail. The problem is when I try and view the folder in windows. It asks for the username and password but just says access denied. I can’t even read any of the data just a complete deny. I’ve checked the permissions twice on both the gui and shell and they look correct. I have other working SMB shares. I tried resetting the plexuser password but still the same.
ive read the docs and searched for similar posts but cannot find much that helps me.
it’s a new freenas install on HP Z620 3.7ghz with 128gb ram. I have 3x WD red drives in RaidZ with a single volume1 created. The boot drive is a 32gb sd card.
Happy to share any logs and happy to change any settings if I’m not following best practice.
thanks
Rik
