Freenas setup (newbie)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have just installed Emby on my freenas-server and it was no problem with adding my tv-section since it is  on the freenas server. :)

But I have my movies on another nas-server (Synology DS413j) and the movie-folder on that server is shared. But Emby can't see it when I try to add a path for this. I tried \\192.168.1.19\video\Film (thats where the movies is on my Synology-server). Emby just tells me "The path does not exist" 

What can I do to make this work?

 

I have no problem finding this share in other systems. (Windows 7 and so on...)

 

Thanx in advance.

emby doesn't have built in samba support. it won't be able to see those files unless you mount it into your emby jail using the commandline.

 

any reason you can't host the movies on your freenas server?

Thanx for your answer. Do you know how I do the mount thing? :)

 

The answer for your question is that the movie-section is to large... I have 6TB TV-shows on the freenas server (total TB is 8TB on the freenas-server) and about 13TB movies on the other server. So I can't fit it into the freenas server...

I'm not exactly sure how but it probably involves installing a cifs client, not sure if the jail has permissions to mount the remote filesystem.

 

you could always rip the drives from the synology and put the in the freenas, lol

It probably does not have permission to mount remote filesystems. I have searched everywhere for this.. :( Im thinking about installing a regular Windows 7 on the computer that works as the freenas server now...

According to the below you could allow mounting from inside the jail by setting this sysctl for your Emby jail "allow.mount=true"

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.3-RELEASE

 

Or... you could mount CIFS from the FreeNAS host, set the mount_smbfs as a startup command, and mount that into your jail.

lol, that's why I like my earlier suggestion. take all the drives from the synology and connect then to freenas.
