Hi,

 

I'm unable to add media to newly installed emby server on centos 6.

 

Getting below error:

 There was an error adding the media path. Please ensure the path is valid and the Emby Server process has access to that location.

 

 

 

I've given full access to everyone but no luck.

 

Any help?

 

 

Thanks,

Sri

Hi,

 

Another newbie here :) I have the same problem on a fresh system. OS is Ubuntu 15.10 and I try to add a local media.

Here is my log:

For those running from source, I've checked in a fix for the above issue with adding folders. The issue is not actually part of the tagged 3.0.5781.4 release, it's just something that was checked in after the fact, and now it's fixed. Thanks.

Having the same issue with the Debian 7 Version 3.0.5781.4. Did apt-get install --reinstall this morning and no resolution. Here's what seems to be the relevant section from the server log:

Can you explain this in a little more detail? Nicheplayer and I are running this build, have done a reinstall of emby-server, allowing full 777 permissions to the directory and still receive the posted error above.  Directory is not sym-linked or a remote mount path.

I thought I would share an update.  On this server we have an emby home user directory and our normal user home.  During the emby install we specified emby to use our normal home user account.  However, it still created the emby user home folder.  I just did the following and now emby succuessfully read the media folder inside our standard user folder:

 

/etc/init.d/emby-server stop

ps aux | grep emby and killed all process still running (there were the two listed above even after the /etc/init.d/emby-server stop)

chown -R emby:nicheplayer007 /home/nicheplayer 

/etc/init.d/emby-server start

 

Successfully added the /home/nicheplayer/downloads folder, which contains all of the movies

 

However, clicking play in the web interface  on any of the movies will start the player interface, but the video won't play.  sits at 0 seconds with the movie art shown.  I tried from my KODI emby add-on client and it experienced the same behavior; sees the movies now, but cannot play them.

I think this might be at least part of our playback problem. This is from the latest server log after I did a restart from the server web interface (it never restarted, BTW; had to do it manually via init.d):

Where is your ffmpeg coming from ? Did you install this from your own distribution?

 

Could've been installed with Plex server? Otherwise, it must've been installed as part of some other software package set up by the folks who provide our VPS. I guess I can check with support and see if they can track it down.

Just tried to play again via the web client and got a different error. Attached. Thoughts? LOG

Just heard back from the admins at my VPS. ffmpeg is installed as part of the onload when building new servers. So there was already a version there before I tried the emby install.
