HI, what do you mean by "your home directory"?

Where are you looking for it?

[kkppgvr 1]

I mean I failed to find /home/jon/movies when adding new library. 

there were lot of directories but i'm unable to find one that have my all movies stored.(I have some movies in my /home/jon/movies directory.)

Did you try typing it in manually?

• /path/to/movies:/data/movies

 

Did you actually configure these at all?

Using docker, you'll never see your home directory, unless you explicitly map it to the container.

Within emby you should see /data/movies and /data/tvshows, but unless you actually have content at the paths '/path/to/movies' and 'path/to/tvshows' they'll be empty.

 

Modify the compose you found to actually match paths on your system, those are just placeholders....

 

 

Speaking of which:

You're also not using the official emby docker release or compose file, but one provided by lscr.io.... No idea if/when that gets updated.

 

 

You should be using the releases found at https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver

@darkassassin07 

I have the movies in my /home/jon/movies directory. 

can u please tell me what chages I have to make in these section 

• /path/to/library:/config

• /path/to/tvshows:/data/tvshows

• /path/to/movies:/data/movies.

The paths on the left side of the colon are paths in the host file system; and the right side are paths in the containers filesystem, ie what emby sees.

 

For emby to see the media that's stored in /home/jon/movies, you'll want the line:

- /home/jon/movies:/media/movies

In your compose file. Then emby will see those files at the path /media/movies.

 

 

Within the container: /config is where emby stores its configuration files. Currently you have them stored at /path/to/library on your host. This will function, but is kinda messy. Personally, I'd move them to something like /srv/emby/config, then change that top line to match:

- /srv/emby/config:/config
