user101xy 24 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 @Luke @cayars: Does this solution even exist with MacOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 What exactly is it you're trying to do on the Mac? I don't know if this is any help to you but this is good information to know. Pretty much anything you don on one platform is the same on another platform except for where the base set of Emby files get installed which are OS dependent. To find the basic location of where Emby is installed you can look at the beginning part of the server log which will have this info or you can quite easily click the 3 dot menu on the Dashboard then click View Server Info Debian Linux Example Windows Example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The best method is to learn to do it "right". By that I really mean the normal or typical way. Once you learn the basic skill to do this it works for Linux, BSD, Synology, Mac and even Windows. Basically, the nutshell version is to turn on SSH on the host. Then use a SSH client to connect to the host. You can then go superuser or root with sudo -i or su depending on OS. At that point you have access to the whole file system. You will want to google Linux command line basic commands to learn how to mkdir (make a directory), cd (change directory, mv (move files or folders), cp (copy files or folders), ls (list directory) or ls -l (get long version), etc. The above are key things to know when you want to do things past what an OS GUI allows. Tools such as WinSCP are sort of band aids in a sense but you are far better off spending an hour or two watching a couple Youtube videos and some basic googling to learn these basic techniques. There really is no alternative as these are basic skills an admin of the system should know or be familiar with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user101xy 24 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks @cayars... I am a little bit confused... i thought it could be simpler, or perhaps getting help by you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I've lost track of what you're trying to do. What exactly are you trying to do on the Mac? How many different Emby Servers are you running? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user101xy 24 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) @cayarsI am using one Emby Server on a Synology DSM7 DS218play. I would like to access and locate, with my Mac, the hidden folder "EmbyServer" on my NAS, which contains the Recordings, so i can transfer this, to an other folder. So i can delete this folder, and using only the volume1/videos folder, which i have access, via Finder.

Carlo 4330 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 What you can do is go into Live TV and pick any channel and record something. You can cancel the recording in 5 to 10 seconds. Now go to the logs menu and open the embyserver.txt log file at the top. Scroll to the bottom of the file and you should fine your recording. You can also do a search (ctrl-F) for "Saving Recording". You will have a line similar to this which will show the folder you're storing recordings in. For me it's /MediaCollection/DVR as I've moved the location. 2022-08-13 22:21:57.132 Info LiveTV: Saving recording image to /MediaCollection/DVR/48 Hours (1987)/poster.jpg You can create a new directory somewhere else if you like and copy/move your recordings to the new location. Make sure you grant the internal system emby user read/write access to this new location. Now go to the Live TV menu and click the Advanced tab at the top. You can configure the new default recording path here. Because I left the movie and series paths blank, Emby Server will create a movie and series folder under the DVR path I set automatically. I myself don't use those two fields unless I'm using different locations such as Drive 1 for movies and Drive 2 for Series. So leave those two blank if storing to the same location. Optionally you could leave current recordings where they are and just set the location to be used moving forward. One last thing to change is your Recording Library. You will either add a 2nd path keeping the first where it is or replace it like I did: Instead of doing a recording and looking at the log you can of course check to see if you have the "Default recording path:" already filled in and/or you can check the Recording Library entry which should be pointing to the current location. You have 3 ways of possibly finding the path but the first while more work is full proof. If you need help with a copy or move command to transfer the recordings to a new location let us know the current location as found above as well as the new location you created for recordings. Someone will be able to give you the commands to use from the command line using SSH. Carlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user101xy 24 Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Many many many thanks @cayars!!!!!!! I´ll try... Have a nice day and stay well!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 You may want to install SynoCli File Tools from package center. This includes Midnight Commander. Midnight Commander (also known as mc) is a free cross-platform file manager that's a clone of Norton Commander. It's cross platform built so it can be installed on just about anything including windows. It would give you similar type functionality to WinSCP in that it supports SFTP/FTP client, has a built in editor, 2 pane folder layout for easy file/folder manipulation, etc. With MC installed on Synology you can open/connect via SSH. "sudo -i" to become root mc to launch Midnight Commander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5049 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 SynoCli is in the SynoCommunity repository. Download the spk for your NAS from the following link, or add the repository to PC to see everything there SynoCommunity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Step 1 Skip this step if you are on DSM7 or later. Log into your NAS as administrator and go to Main Menu → Package Center → Settings and set Trust Level to Synology Inc. and trusted publishers. Step 2 In the Package Sources tab, click Add, type SynoCommunity as Name and https://packages.synocommunity.com/ as Location and then press OK to validate. Step 3 Go back to the Package Center and enjoy SynoCommunity's packages in the Community tab. Edited August 15, 2022 by FrostByte 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
