Metadata issues with Music Videos?

[GregMo 21]

Running into a strange issue and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I'm setting up some music videos on my Android server and when I scrape for the metadata, it creates a zero byte file for both the NFO file and the COVER.JPG.  If I create these files on my windows server first and then copy them over, all is well.  Just perplexed as to why it's not working on Android.  Just as an aside, I've not tried this with other media types but given it's happening with both of these files I would guess the media type is irrelevant?

Hi there, please attach the emby server log from when this happened:

Thanks.

I'm guessing it's having an issue with the networked drive.

Yea it looks like you'll need to look at the permissions on the media folder that it's trying to write to. Have you done that?

[GregMo 21]

Yeah.  It was set so that anyone could read and write to it.  The fact that it created the file proves the permissions were good.  Just not exactly sure why it's zero bytes long.

[Luke 37068]

Are you on the shield?

[GregMo 21]

No.  This is on a Motorola One 5G Ace.  I'm in the process of setting up a different phone and will try it on that one soon.

So, I have tried this again, any everything is different.  Different phone, different network server, even different drive connected to that network server.  Tried it on a movie library this time and still getting the same error, "Stream does not support writing".  I just did a cursory search and this seems to be an error from trying to write to a stream that was opened as read-only.  Not sure if this is an Emby issue, or an Android one, but given the results I'm seeing in this search, it would appear it is a coding fault.

We're definitely opening it as writeable. What's most likely happening is that the entire share is readonly, or at least, readonly to the server.

[GregMo 21]

Other machines read and write to the share with no problem.  And the share isn't read only or else it wouldn't be able to even create the zero-byte file.

[Luke 37068]

@GregMowhat version of windows is the network share on?
