Firespyer 0 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I just installed my server on Ubuntu 16.04 I am trying to add my Movies library and get the following error: There was an error adding the media path. Please ensure the path is valid and the Emby Server process has access to that location. I can connect to the server in ubuntu, I mounted the shared folder as well, and can open files from the share in Ubuntu. Just can't get it to add in Emby. paths I have tried are: \\FreeNas\TheaterShare\Movies \\192.168.10.40\TheaterShare\Movies Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Luke 40079 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Hi, the mono runtime does not support unc paths, so if you mount it as a local path it should work. i would try that again.
Firespyer 0 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 I know how to define the local path in windows, but not linux. I tried browsing the local folders through emby but can't find the mounted dir just learning linux, and didn't want to spend money on windows key

Then I do not know where it is located either, because it depends on the applications involved. But usually, if you want to mount a SMB share on a server, you either use smbfs or cifs and put an entry into the /etc/fstab file, e.g. //FreeNas/TheaterShare/Movies /mnt/freenas/theater_share/movies cifs auto 0 0 (untested) Of course the mount point must be created with mkdir, e.g. mkdir -p /mnt/freenas/theater_share/movies and the share has to be mounted manually, e.g. mount /mnt/freenas/theater_share/movies For more details and automatic mounting, c.f. https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samba_Client_cifs/ 1
mastrmind11 722 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 What @@marmayr said. Don't use KDE to mount the drive because it can put it anywhere. You need to mount it from the command line using the steps above and in the link.
Firespyer 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Posted August 26, 2016 Thank you marmayr & mastrmind11 I'll try that when I get home tonight.
