    Hi !

    I'm trying to setup watch folders but it is not working, here is what the media monitor log shows :
    " WARNING - [MainThread] [mediamonitorcommon.py : is_user_readable()] : LINE 67 - File does not have correct permissions: "

    My question is : Which user should I grant access on these folders?

    Setting to 777 will work but I'd prefer to add required user to folder's group.

    Thanks,

    Hey,

    The files needs to be readable by users www-data (so that you can preview it via web interface), and by user pypo (so our playout engine can read the file).

    So just add those two users into some group that can read your files (to avoid chmod 777)

    Well I thought it'd work using 777 and / or chown www-data:www-data on folders and files, but it's not.

    Did someone successfully used this feature ?

    Thanks.

    I've solved the problem : one folder in the full path wasn't accessible.

    eg: /folder1/folder2/folder3/
    folder2 wasn't readable by "others".
