Hi rogs!

All of a sudden I'm getting this message in Bazarr:
"Bazarr cannot write to this directory."

Not sure where to go from here. doesn't give me the same error for radarr but only for sonarr.

I see this in my Bazarr notifications:
"We're about to drop support for legacy Sonarr and Radarr versions (prior to v3). If you're still using those legacy versions, please consider upgrading ASAP."

Not sure if this means anything...

Hey @badteddy!

Did you change the permissions in your config directory? YAMS already runs Sonarr/Radarr v3, so it's safe to ignore that warning.

Cheers!

Roger.

Hi rogs I dont recall changing any permissions.

How do I check?

First of all, check the logs to see what directory is it complaining about. You can check the logs by running:

Code: Select all

docker logs bazarr

Once you see the directory, make sure the user that runs YAMS has full permissions on it:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R user:user /the/directory/with/wrong/permissions

(replace user with the correct user and /the/directory/with/wrong/permissions with the correct directory

And finally, restart YAMS

Code: Select all

yams restart
