I have plex and Channels running on the same server (Ubuntu Server). I cannot delete shows that plex records from channels (they do disappear from the UI, but not the file system). The logs show that they are constantly trying to be deleted.
Channels is installed with my user account and plex has its own user account. Both my user account and the plex user account belong to the same group that owns the plex recordings.
here is an example:
File System:
-rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 2677703552 Apr 1 20:32 'Young Sheldon (2017) - S04E12 - A Box of Treasure and the Meemaw of Science.ts'
-rw-r--r-- 1 plex plex 2598921400 Apr 8 20:31 'Young Sheldon (2017) - S04E13 - The Geezer Bus and a New Model for Education.ts'
Channels:

Every 5 minutes it tries to delete. My user account is a member of the plex group so ownership shouldn't be an issue I would think?
Any help would be appreciated.
