I can not find emby files in file station on DSM7

Hi, If you have not installed it yet, you can find Emby in the package center.  Just type in "Emby" in the search field. Make sure to allow package from 3rd parties enabled.

Almost as easy is just downloading it right from our website (download button up top) making sure to get the DSM 7 version and then using the package center manual setup button.

It sounds like this doesn't apply to you but just in case. If you had DSM 6 with Emby installed and your looking for the new DSM 7 version you will need to migrate data vs just doing a new install. So if that's the choice let us know.

Happy Streaming and welcome to the forum!

The Emby system files can't be seen using File Station in DSM7 as they are no longer located in a shared folder.  You will need something like Putty/Terminal/WInSCP in order to see the files created by Emby

@LukeFor Synology, it would be extremely helpful if we we could make the log folder a configurable path.  This would make the log files quite easy to get to quickly using a network share or from File Station in the DSM 7 UI. It might need an intermediate or a confirm screen that does a quick write test to the new path and warns the user if permissions is wrong.

At the same time doesn't downloading from Settings-Logs accomplish user needs?  But don't know how well this works on all platforms.

Yes they are available that way of course on all platforms. On Windows platforms, do you ever just go straight to the log folder and open the log in a tail program or notepad++ or do you download them via web browser?  Often viewing in the browser is fine but sometimes it's nice to get to the files quickly to load them in a program that will display and let you search for things easier.  I know the web view can get very hard to read when your resolution is set to a low settings like 1024 mode as everything is off screen and scrolling back and forth to read things is a pain.  So while the download works it's not the same as having access to the files where you can run a tail utility to see what's being added in real-time (what I personally want).

For me doing remote support work this would be helpful as not everyone feels comfortable letting someone SSH into their machine and going sudo. Doing that of course makes it easy to do a "tail -f embyserver.txt" type command to view the log as it's being written while testing things.

An alternative and nice feature that I think even more people could benefit from would be to take the full screen log view we already have that can open in a new tab view and add a tail like functionality to it to be able to view the last X lines of the log.  That would sure be a lot better then sitting there hitting F5 to refresh it and CTRL-END to jump to the bottom.

This is nothing critical of course, but would be something that makes working with logs a bit easier and adding some useful functionality. <-- tail like web view
