setting up emby

[PartlyCloudy 1]

I want to start of with this, im am new to emby. So, when I was adding my first library , it says, "The directory '/media/ts82924001/Archive' cound not be found." I noticed that it says that I need to give emby rwx permission. I am not sure how to do that with emby. I did it with jellyfin, but I am not sure how to do it with emby.

Do a ls -l on that directory in terminal to find out the group that owns that folder. Then add the Emby user to the group. 
 

sudo usermod -aG groupname emby

All of the folders say that they are in the emby group, but it still does not work.

First please post screen shots directly here, not only is it allowed it’s encouraged.

Next how is this drive mounted? /etc/fstab ? (preferred)

Then what does this command show?

nami -mo /media/ts82924001/Archive/emby

Also, it is a new error now, screenshot attached.

 

emby has full rwx permissions as well.

Is this direct attached storage then? What way did you install Emby Server btw? I would not do snap if it was.

namei -mo /media/ts82924001/Archive/emby

Is this a UBS drive?

I installed Emby because Jellyfin just kinda broke on me. It wont show new media after full library scans and even after full reinstall. Also, it is an external HDD btw.

What Linux distro?

Only root can get to ts82924001. Permissions are needed for access on every directory along the path.

chmod o+rx /media/ts82924001 /media/ts82924001/Archive
