Luke 36999 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hello, I'm running Emby on OMV with a docker and a 3200g APU I'm struggling to get hardware transcoding to work and CPU only transcoding is to slow, I've looked at the links given here but sadly I’m a noob and can't get it to work. any help will be greatly appreciated. @@adamericson can we please look at an example? Please open a new topic and attach the information requested in how to report a problem. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyjones 1 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Hi @@Luke, I believe so. This server is at my parents and they don't ask me to add their media to our very often. I did however find a work around, if I restarted omv then restarted docker it would connect to scrape media again for a while. I am trying to remember but restarting OMV might be optional too, the key part is restarting docker. If you restart just the server/OMV, or emby server it does not work.

Luke 36999 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Ok, we're about to release Emby Server 4.4 so please re-evaluate with that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontony 1 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Hi there. I would like to ask for a bit of help regarding volume paths. I have setup OMV5 in a small SSD and i have mounted (amateurish) an external disk for Data. I have data folders in the external hdd , but I have not been able tolink those correctly. I have both myself and a user called emby setup in OMV5 (with access privileges), as well as created these two users within emby server. Nevertheless I have been unable toaccess my media paths correctly. When I try to select a path for a new library (e.g. a Pictures library) via emby server,the host/Volume path to the external hdd, is not recognised.The wizard complains that the path I issue (e.g. /srv/dev-disk-by-label-300GB/Music) is invalid (though it is existent). My current paths are as follows: HOST/VOLUME PATH IN CONTAINER /mnt/medialibrary/music /data/music /srv/dev-disk-by-label-300GB/appdata/tony/.config/appdata/emby /config /srv/dev-disk-by-label-300GB/appdata/tony/.config/appdata/shared /shared..... I would like to have the paths in container linked to the external /srv/dev-disk-by-label-300GB, insteadof linking to /mnt/.....Any words of advice in order to align the paths to the external hdd?

On plex there is an entry container volumes but not for emby No needed for Emby. BUT if you want a dedicated folder, just create a folder for transcode shared with the name you want and add that folder to the shares Ex. /mnt/share1 ( always choose bind) /srv/dev-disk-by-label-YOUR-SHARE/YOUR-SHARE (you need to get the absolute path like the example) READ THIS: share1 can be share2, 3, or whatever number you need. Example: if you have already two shares named share1 and share2 with his paths; then create share3 to transcode and add the path like above ( /srv/dev-disk-by-label-YOUR-SHARE/YOUR-SHARE) I use a share for my backups, you can do the same with your transcodes cc @@Luke Hope helps. Edit. Quick resume: You need to have/create a shared folder for your transcoding, then use the web server interface and look for the folder that you shared to use for transcode. If the folder is not created, shared and added to the docker you never can't find the path. Edited May 25, 2020 by Riggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly my problem I can see the share3 thru emby but not the share folder transcode like I can see inside mnt/share1 or 2 the path in doker is /srv/dev-disk-by-label-SSD_500/transcode:mnt/share3 but mnt/share3 is empty in emby OMV bkup.zip Edited May 26, 2020 by Ratatouille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try mounting that to a local share in the OS, then add the local share path into Emby. Please see if that helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36999 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 The mounted path, which based on what you're saying, sounds like mnt/share3/srv/dev-disk-by-label-SSD_500/transcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratatouille 11 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This is working I checked with some subtitles on a movie and it was using it an deleted the transcode files, strange since for the config folders I did not have to give this type of permission Other question if I want to use ram instead of SSD for transcoding is temp the name I should use there?

The name of the folder can be anything you want, you just have to configure the path for it in emby server settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs 300 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 OMV and Docker sometimes have problems with the permissions. They have a plugin called: openmediavault-resetperms 5.0 Is available in the plugins section Once is installed you can find the tool in the Shared Folders sections in the tab "Reset Permissions" Cheers.
