Sabnzbd Permission Settings

[bigdaddyo811]

I am having permission problems.

I have the following storage settings:

/mnt/tank/media/TV mapped to /var/db/sabnzbd/downloads

The user and group is media/media

This works fine. Sickrage serves the nzb and sab downloads and saves it into the directory media/TV/Showname/Season#/Episode

Now if I go into categories and set the path /mnt/tank/media/TV it doesnt work. It gives me "could not create directory or file" (i.e. having sabnzbd ignore the default directory structure and use the hardcoded one in categories)

I want to do this because right now everything out of sabnzbd is going into the TV folder so I cant use couchpotato. If I try to enter /mnt/tank/media/TV for the "TV" category and /mnt/tank/media/Movies for the "Movie" category they both fail due to "cant create..."

I have also tried changing the jail storage map to /mnt/tank/media to /var/db/sabnzbd/downloads and then setting /TV or /Movies in the category section but that doesnt work ( I assume because if you enter a path in categories in Sabnzbd it ignores some sort of permission?)

Thanks

categories are relative to your download directory, not absolute paths.
I'm surprised you current setup is even working. I would not have my files download and be organize in the same folder like that.

Here's what I do.

/mnt/tank/media > /mnt/media

sabnzbd completed downloads folder = /mnt/media/downloads/sabnzbd/complete
categories

• tv, path=tv (which in the jail is /mnt/media/downloads/sabnzbd/complete/tv)
• movie, path=movie (which in the jail is /mnt/media/downloads/sabnzbd/movie)

sickrage managed folder = /mnt/media/videos/tvshows
couchpotato managed folder = /mnt/media/videos/movies

I am not happy with it I agree it's a bad structure bit couldn't get anything else to work.

I have read setting permissions recursively is bad.

When you say *tv, path= etc. Where are you entering that?

Sabnzbd WebUI > Config > Categories
If you google "jruehlig freenas" I documented how I configure my plugins.

it's definitely bad to change permission on operating system/application files, and doing your whole zpool recursively would do that (since jails live under that zpool)
But there's no harm in changing the permission of a single dataset with only your media files on it.
