Mystery permission issue

Issues & Assistance
1

I have been trying to use LocalSend to send my roommate “That Girl (1966)” and I keep getting “NO PERMISSION You have not granted the necessary permissions. Please grant them in the settings.”. When I got That Girl all I did was copy it to TV Series, Rename the parent folder, rename the subfolders, and then use RenameMyTVSeries to rename the episodes cause once in TV Series ownership should of reverted to the active user myself. Any idea why I should be seeing the permissions being different?

EDIT:
This is not a port issue. I attempt to send any other folder and there is no issue. It is a file permission issue. As one can see the permissions for the season folders for That Girl are drwxr-sr-x and should be drwxrwsr. The episodes for That Girl are -rw-r–r-- instead of -rw-rw-r–+ like they should be. As for RenameMyTVSeries it does not change ANY permissions, just simply changes the files name and metadata.

Hope i understand it right, you can´t send or ?

Tested on my metal (dragon)–> sent / received to host.2 + phone (android) → no probs, but i insert the correct firewall rule before metal host + host.2
Incoming TCP, UDP 53317 Allow

Which os is running there ?

From which source ?

Of course, “RenameMy…” set the right attributes,
if it see a .mkv file with rw-rw (that´s not default)

Edited my first post.

EDIT:

I found the below and now have the That Girl (1966) folder and it’s subfolders fixed. What I need now is to know how to use chmod --reference=source_file target_file so the command will do all files in That Girl all at once instead of one by one.

ok..
i use a filemanager to do this: mc (midnight-commander)
or… for a file
open console → /mnt/My Files…
chmod --reference=source_file target_file mean
chmod --reference=(your file) (your file) (think on the different folder if the files are not in the same folder)
chmod --reference=/mnt/My Files II/TV Se/../xxx.mkv /mnt/My Files II/TVSeries/xxx/xxx.mkv

but better is here for all of the content (folder + files)
chmod -R --reference=source_directory target_directory

wired and interesting i use Localsend too between the Phone and Pc. i was thinking maybe a drm security but this not affect the mkv files. i converted my series and movies all to mp4 and didnt had issues like you :wink:

That was also my thinking..special M$ MediaDRM + shared folders/files
My question was from which source…

yes i had some folder where had drm from mdoof but i got a decoder on mdoof and converted all to get rid of those bullsh..t. other thinking was when he used a other profile name and after a other system install permissions problems. I also found someone had this as a bug in the 1.1 version but i think its 1.17 now =)

lol.. and inside Kodi (linux based)..found …nothing.. i know

I’m thinking something changed my permission structure sometime in March, cause after fixing the That Girl folder and it’s subfolders I decided to look at other shows that are still running their current season. In one the files from March 6th forward are like the That Girl files. I’m now thinking I need to change the permissions from the from the Top level of each of the drives. Correct me if I’m wrong but since all 3 drives are ext4 and all I do is mount them under /mnt and take ownership with root actions should all parent folders and sub folders be the same permission set and all files regardless of type be the same permission set?

The permission structures have dependencies which user + source. (of course some more)
If all works well, you don’t need to change anything.
Important for you is only now ..the source. (my mind)
If you “feel” better, then change that.
Something changed the permission was (my mind) your source and
the “new” os. The isos from last year to this year are more then a little bit different.

I would write the same as gampel. I had also some issue on ext 4 drives so i formated them in btrfs also. I had the experiance that if i used the root actions to get access didnt changed some files :wink:
