Which change? Basically any changes to the setup require that you recreate the container so yes, you run it through again.

If you've gotten as far as adding users, libraries and scanning then you might want to preserve that info unless it was quick and small in the first place. In that case starting over could be just as quick.

On the container side the paths can remain the same so it's a matter of copying/moving to change the location on the host side if you want to save your progress so far.

Okay went back at it after messing around with debian without proxmox...

  

docker run -d \
  --name=emby \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -p 8096:8096 \
  -p 8920:8920 `#optional` \
  -v /var/lib/emby:/config \
  -v /media/share/series:/data/tvshows \
  -v /media/share/movies:/data/movies \
  -v /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib `#optional` \
  --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest

/media/share/series (and movies) are SMB shares mounted in fstab, I can see the content when LS'ing the directory.

 

But emby still won't show me anything below /media/

Both media (that I can see in emby interface) and share (right under media) look the same though... 

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 13 oct.  01:18 media

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 13 oct.  01:19 share


What am I doing wrong ? I tried adding the uid thing mentioned in earlier comments in fstab, might have done it wrong (but debian reported no error) :

 

//192.168.1.25/movies /media/share/movies cifs rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=batuu,password=PASSWORD 0 0
//192.168.1.25/series /media/share/series cifs username=batuu,password=PASSWORD 0 0

Read through the thread below to see if the mount options in the fstab entries are helpful. If you can see the contents of movies and series from the shell then it should also work in Docker. The trick is to make sure the given UID/GID has access. There are options in this thread that could be relevant.

Doesn't seem to be working, am I doing it wrong ?

I can see the data in the terminal with an LS, so that must be an emby permission issue of some sort...

Okay I figured it out : in docker you set this like that (in my case at least). 

  -v /media/share/series:/data/tvshows \
  -v /media/share/movies:/data/movies \

That means emby will find the relevant data not in "media/share" but in "data/tvshows".

100% next time I install I get this wrong again. Thanks for your support guys, and sorry for my noobiness :P

You were trying to find the files using the host path instead of the container path? I didn't catch on to that from your posts.

Hi all,

I am having a permission problem setting up emby on a rasberry pi running. Emby is running fine and it can read my media library, but what it can't do is write properly.
I have my media library running on an old Windows box, so I am using fstab to mount the shared folder to the emby server. My fstab looks like this  

//192.168.0.104/Shared\040Folders /mnt/homeserver cifs vers=3.0,gid=users,dir_mode=0775,auto,credentials=/home/ryan/.credfile 0 0

I have added the emby user to my users group by running this command 

sudo usermod -a -G users emby

so now my /etc/group file has this line  

users:x:100:ryan,emby

and when I run `ls -l` on the directory that has all my movie folders I see results like this 

drwxrwxr-x 2 ryan users 0 Mar 27 00:51  TOP_GUN
drwxrwxr-x 2 ryan users 0 Mar 26 14:49  TOP_GUN_MAVERICK

When I run `ls -l` on a specific directory I get 

-rwxr-xr-x 1 ryan users 37786506317 Dec 26 04:15 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.mp4

After running a refresh of the metadata an nfo file is created, but it is empty 

-rwxr-xr-x 1 ryan users 37786506317 Dec 26 04:15 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.mp4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ryan users           0 Mar 27 02:06 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.nfo


When I check the logs this is what I see 

2024-03-27 02:05:53.841 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -i file:"/mnt/homeserver/Movies/TOP_GUN/TOP_GUN.mp4" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data

I thought it might be file level permissions so I updated the fstab to be this 

//192.168.0.104/Shared\040Folders /mnt/homeserver cifs vers=3.0,gid=users,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,auto,credentials=/home/ryan/.credfile 0 0

After a reboot the permissions look like this  

-rwxrwxr-x 1 ryan users 37786506317 Dec 26 04:15 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.mp4
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ryan users           0 Mar 27 02:06 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.nfo

But after refreshing the metadata the nfo file is deleted. 

-rwxrwxr-x 1 ryan users 37786506317 Dec 26 04:15 TOP_GUN__MAVERICK.mp4

Here is the log

The log makes it seem like a permission issue, but even after making the emby user the owner of the mount I am still able to write files and edit those files via the command line. 

I am at a loss for what it might be. Any ideas?

You could try a couple of things. Add the nobrl option to see if that's still a problem with CIFS and exclude the version to let it negotiate which one to use.

Thanks, the nobrl option worked.
