Problem with WDTV Live and Sabnzbd

Post by Vetseun »

Hi All,

I use a WDTV Live to stream media shared on my PC to my lounge. I recently switched to using Sabnzbd and sickbeard to download Tv series, but I'm having a strange problem.

Files download and are processed on my PC no problem, but my WDTV cannot see the downloaded file on the network share. Once I copy/move the file to a different folder on my PC it works... I googled/searched and came across one or two people with this problem, but have not been able to find a solution...

Can anybody provide some help?

Check access rights on the share.

Thanks. "Everybody" on the network has read/write access on the folders. Would this be sufficient or are there other access rights/permissions to check?

Check whether newly created files actually get the proper access right.
They should under Windows, but you never know.
Also sharing on Windows is complicated because of the 2-layer system:
1. Share rights
2. NTFS rights
The actual access is determined by the "AND" of the two.
Meaning: even if you allow "everybody" at the share level, the NTFS level may still lock users out.

Thank you, didn't know that. I will check to make sure.
