JDMIS 0 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi there, I have just installed the emby plugin on FreeNas at it seems to be working well with one exception... It is unable to write to the volume where the media is stored... Logs are filled with access denied messages when trying to write fanart, thumbnails. etc... eg: *** Error Report *** Version: 3.0.5607.2 Command line: /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/lib/emby-server/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe -ffmpeg /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/bin/ffprobe -programdata /var/db/emby-server .... Error saving image to /Media/Fabrication/fanart.jpg .... InnerException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException Access to the path "/Media/Fabrication/fanart.jpg" is denied. I have a volume called Media It is used for CIFS, guests have read and write access. This volume is mounted in the emby plugin jail Jail: customplugin_1 Source: /mnt/Store/Media Destination: /Media Mounted? TRUE Read-Only? FALSE When I shell into the jail, I can see the mount just fine, and write to it without problems. Does the emby service run as a different user? Can anyone suggest a way to let its user write metadata to this mount? (preferably with some rather specific instructions, because FreeNas permissions are not easy for me Many thanks!

josh4trunks 70 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 the user emby runs as needs permission to write to that dataset, or you need to not save metadata to the actual media dataset. This post gives you all the tools you need for the first option https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-giving-plugins-write-permissions-to-your-data.27273/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
