Podcast Error Due to Permission Restrictions

[johnmata]

Hello,

How can I clear out this error? I have since changed the directory to one without permission restrictions. But the error remains. Please advise.

[toolman]

Has the account that you're using to watch this video permissions to to convert videos?
See Log in with the account and check Settings >> Personal >> User is allowed to convert videos.

If that's ok you could check wether the account that's running the subsonic-service has full permissions on your media folders.

[johnmata]

Thank you for the prompt response.

I am in logged in as admin, so no option to select "user is allowed to convert videos". But I believe that admin has that permission. Right?

Initially I had Subsonic pointed at a directory that it did not have permission. That's what initiated the error (i think). So I changed the setting to a directory where permission is not an issue. But the error does not clear out or reset.

[toolman]

Admin should indeed have all privileges to all mediafolders and to perform all actions.
Did you check If the account that's running the subsonic-service has full permissions (read / write) on your video folder(s)?
You could also create a new user and make sure that this user has privileges to convert video and run a test under that account.
If that's worling well, than there must be a problem with the admin-account.

[johnmata]

Thanks for getting back.

Just tried your idea, added an account and checked the box. Alas, same issue.

Initially I had tried a folder in which permissions was a problem: /var/music/Podcast/

When I realized the issue, because of the error, I changed the "Save Podcast in" to point at the same directory in which I have all my music--which all plays without issues: /home/john/Dropbox/Music/Podcasts

Despite the change, however, it seems to be stuck on the first directory: Access denied to file /var/music/Podcast/MSNBC Rachel Maddow (video)/pdv_maddow_netcast_m4v-01-23-2017-214122.m4v

[toolman]

Doesn't it appear that the permissions on the file itself are not correct?
Could you check that?
I have been searching for this error and the only thing which comes up what makes sense is this topic:
http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16411&p=70279&hilit=Stack+trace+java.lang.SecurityException%3A+Access+denied+to+file#p70279
On the interwebs there's this :
http://forum.madsonic.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=857 which is about Madsonic, but since Madsonic is a fork of Subsonic it might help you.
It would be nice to know if either solution has worked for you, since this seems to be an issue that happens regularly.

[johnmata]

changed the permissions to full access, read, write. Still getting the error.

Bummer.

I will check out the links you provided...

[johnmata]

Tempted to uninstall and reinstall Subsonic...

[johnmata]

Tried the steps listed on the links provided. Result: still had problem. uninstalled Subsonic and reinstalled. Now I have even worse problem:

HTTP ERROR: 503

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
RequestURI=/login.view

Powered by jetty://

Will start a new string for new problem, for the sake of posterity.
