I think running Emby Server as a service, the service user needs access to files to. This link might help you. Running as Windows Service | Emby Documentation Disclaimer : I have not used windows for Emby Server i years.

I have an update to this. Perhaps it should be a new thread but it is probably related to the Windows Server 2025 installation. EMBY Server is running on this server as a service. Remote machines can access it and playback media so everything is defined correctly and working. When running locally neither EMBY Theater or the Web interface can replay media. The error is that the directory could not be found. The drive V: is mapped to the location of the films. I tried to add a new directory to the library, mapped drives (V:, U:, Z:) are not seen. I tried the "Network" option. It returns blank. I also tried manually typing the UNC. This also comes back as not found. So in short EMBY Server running as a service has a problem with networked media on Windows Server 2025. Running EMBY Server "normally" it runs correctly.

I use it often to test scenario's like this For me its a testing tool, so I don't have to copy large files to my test server

For me, just because it is nice to have variety. The cards view is a bit small, and the horizontal spotlight only allows you to see one item at a time, while the vertical spotlight on a horizontal display would allow it to have more impact than cards view while still allowing you to see more than one item at a time. I don't see much use of the horizontal spotlight on the phone, but on the TV all three options could work well. If the options exist, it's just an added bonus to allow the user to decide what they want it to look like.

Deeply committed to the spaces and dashes at this point. I'm positive coming through you that your solution is valid. @VisionaireTrust us, you want .nfo files next to you media files if nothing else. Too many threads here people trying to back there way into updating paths when they had to change a drive letter or storage issues. It will save you significant headaches in the future. What a strange process media stubs... I didn't even know that is a thing. Is that for people with CD/DVD/VHS Changers (OTV setup from 1995... look it up kids)??? Isn't everything online? Why would anything purposely be stored "offline". It's a rhetorical question btw.

Ya, not sure what else changed, but those two fixes are there.

It looks like 2 nfo files for one movie when you view from movies view or folders view for the gray folder that seems to be working while the other nfos are same from both views

Ok, was just wondering how the post with the Blue Moon got the certificate to display? Have tried to install EmbyIcons Plugin, but it's not working. I'm running Emby 4.10.0.40 and tried to install EmbyIcons (twice - see below). Have restarted Emby after the plugin had installed, but it doesn't display under my installed plugins?

yes I restarted twice to be sure.

Hmmm did you restart the server after installing the update?

Why would you ever want the vertical spotlight on a horizontal display or vice versa?

You don't, that's why this thread is asking for the option to be added.

Right now you can do this with plugins.

Sorry, I've got the same error in 2.9.0.3

That's right; I cloned this server from another one—something I've done before without issues—and you just have to delete the files rm connect.txt rm device.txt before starting Emby, and it works perfectly. However, I did the same thing with this server; everything was fine at first, but over time, these problems started to appear.

How do you get the BBFC rating to display as an icon?

just regular strm or symlink with no vantage point tags on 2 show gray folders

Hi, are you still able to reproduce?

Thanks for sharing.

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

HI, more options are coming soon on the beta channel, so stay tuned.

Okay, cool thanks for confirming! I think it would still be nice if we had an option to select which of the three Spotlight styles we wanted to use per section.

Hi Mahinepua, Thank you for the clarity and guidance. I got MS store installed and used it to install EMBY. Unfortunately I got the same error so I decided to start digging a bit deeper. It turns out that MS Store really messes with permissions on the installation folders. For some reason the ADMINISTRATOR group only get assigned "READ CONTENTS". I tried to take ownership and change but no luck. I did notice that USERS had READ, EXECUTE etc. So I created a new user installed EMBY again and it works! The lesson then is install EMBY on Windows Server 2025 as a USER not as ADMINISTRATOR.
