2024 and still there are problems with the photo library

[GravityRZ 2]

I did a lot of reading

changed photo directory to ACL

gave R/W rights to system internal user emby to photo

did a lot of other things but still emby refuses to scan de photo directory on my synology DS718+ with DSM 7

adding a single path eg /volume1/photo/aidastraat/ works, i can see the photo's from map aidastraat

however /volume1/photo will not work

inside the photo directory there are multiple maps of all other hollidays and stuff

 

log shows that emby seems to have  a problem with the @eaDir directory(this is not a problem with the video/music libraries, they al work fine

so when pointing to  a single folder which has the @eaDir inside this gives no problems

when pointing to  a folder which has multiple subdirectories which all have the @eaDir inside this gives PROBLEMS AND NOTHING  IS SCANNED

 

i think 2024 should be the year that finally ALL emby photo directory problems will bre solved(hopefully in the beginning of 2024)

this needs to be idiot proof like it is with the music and video libraries

Not related to your original log with the @eaDir folder permissions, but your latest post shows an inotify error which will cause RTM not to work and can easily be fixed by increasing the number of watches.

can you point out where to input this new number?

There's a little guide on creating a scheduled task in the link below.
