I have Jellyfin installed on LXC Proxmox and my Movies are on TrueNas.

When i try do delete a Movie over Jellyfin web GUI i get  `There was
an error deleting the item from the server. Please check that
Jellyfin has write access to the media folder and try again.`

I guess it has something to do with permissions but i cant find the
problem, i tried everything with no success. I created user and group
jellyfin for the MEDIA directory and gave rwx persmission.

`dir -ls`

`drwxrwxr-x  2 jellyfin jellyfin 4096 Jun 17 23:33 MEDIA`

and on fstab these are my settings.

[`//192.xxx.xx.xxx/`](//192.168.31.104/private)`movies  /MEDIA/private
cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials, rw, uid=110 ,gid=118,
iocharset=utf8, file_mode=0777, dir_mode=0777, noauto,
x-systemd.automount 0 0`

`id -u jellyfin 110`

`id -g jellyfin 118`

​

I would be grateful for any advice!

Did you give the jellyfin user permission on all subfolders as well?

I used chmod -R (recursive). Is this what you mean?

Jellyfin itself has a users section for permission control

Where? You mean the one in the web gui?

Yes, this is what I meant, just wanted to make sure.

Do the smb credentials have permission to delete?
