SABnzbd Forums

Hi there, I've had SABnzbd running well on my Synology NAS for a few years. Recently I changed the download paths for SAB, now downloaded folders get 777 perms like they should, but subfolders and files are on 666 which requires I manuallgy change permissions before Plex can see the files. The incomplete and download directories are owned by SAB, and set to 777. The permissions setting is 777 also.

I think the issue may be that SAB applies the perms, then unpacks the files? I just need to get things back how they were, but with the new directories.

You did set permissions in Config->Folders?

Yup, they're set to 777.

The folder of the unpacked file has drwxrwxrwx permissions, but the contents are -rw-rw-rw-

The files have the right permission.
They don't need "x", since they're not executable.

If they don't have x, my Plex Media Server can't see them. Why can't SAB just set the permissions as I've specified? It was working in the past.

SABnzbd has done it like this forever.
A work-around is to make your own user script.
Something like this:
cd "%1"
find . -type f -exec chmod +x {} \;
