WOOT!! Nice job! Congrats and make sure to pass this along when/where relevant.

@jamesrayth Hmmm....this is a bit messy. I suspect that what you're encountering is both versioning mismatch AND, as a result, maybe permissions as well. I typically do not recommend attempting to configure Plex via TN particularly as Plex is a curated and a fully supported app. Doing that can easily create conflicts (this has happened to me) and can lead to exactly the kind of permissions drift I think is occurring. The error you’re getting suggests HexOS no longer has permission to write to its app storage location. Wit that said, maybe the safest approach would be to use TN UI to repair permissions on the Applications dataset/folder ,making sure the application has write access and then go back to HexOS to install Plex normally. Hopefully, once HexOS can write to the apps a Plex re-install should behave again. PLEASE make sure you're data is backed up and good luck!!

Hi @jamesrayth Def sounds like a permissions issue. When you installed Plex 10 months ago, have you not uses/updated it since? That [EPERM] error typically means that filesystem permissions on that path won’t allow the installation to create read/write there and I'm wondering if there could be a versioning issue OR somehow the permissions might have been changed when you reinstalled.

A fine attempt to clarify some of the conflicting nomenclature of how storage verbiage is used. I hope this helps!! (clear as mud, right??)

Glad you got it sorted!

If the OS doesn't detect the drives, how did you format and partition the drives?

WOOT! Already updated my man! About to leave for vacay but will kick the tires on this update upon return.

Great news!

Exactly why I made this post - to encourage ongoing dialogue. (BTW - on MY media player just now happens to be a delightful mix of uplifting house transitioning to solid, German techno)

Keep in touch. I'm hoping to have ~5TB allocated for buddy backup once the feature is released.

Aw yeah! Bless Open Source software.

I truly relate to this. It's when the magic happens. It looks like you've been having a really good time creating unique builds and finding ways to leverage the devices and at a relatively low cost as well! This is great stuff!

Not a bad little device, especially for the "new to the DIY/NAS" community. I think we're seeing a definite move towards compact devices. The N1xx series from Intel has been a big hit for low to mid range devices which is perfect for the demographic I mentioned. Geopolitics aside, I hope to see an increase in performance over time. Thanks for sharing!

Really jealous of this. I also have a spot under stairs that would be PERFECT for my gear but there is zero way to vent heat (much less cool it) at least without spending silly $$ You've got ample capacity for storage....hoping we can be friends when buddy backup is supported 😁

One of us should make sure to post/share that when he uploads that video. I'd be super interested.
