CentOS 7 "The path does not exist."

[AndreasChen 0]

Hi all,

 

I had success with Emby on Ubuntu but once I moved to CentOS I am having mysterious problems that Emby cannot find paths. I am quite sure the paths are there and permission are open. I even disabled SELinux but did not help.

I can put everything under /home/NAS/... it works

but not under /home/andreas/NAS/...

I have run into issues with permissions if stuff is in my home folder. I have no idea why but even opening up the permissions on the folders still doesn't allow other users access to the folders. That might be your issue.

Remember, the user must have Read AND eXecute permissions on all directories along the path.

 

if the user that Emby runs as does not have Read and eXecute permissions to /home and /home/andreas and /home/andreas/NAS then it will not be able to get to the files, even if the files themselves have permissive permissions.
