pokmiuhy 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 New user here...Very excited to get this up and running. Looks great!! I've got an instance of Emby running on a poweredge server running ubuntu 14.04 and can be accessed from any machine in the house. I'm stuck going through the wizard because I keep getting permission errors. I've searched as much as I could and can't find an exact thread that gets me to a solution so here I am. All my media is stored on a separate Unraid server. I believe the issue is that the Emby server cannot "login" to the Unraid server and therefore gets denied access and gives me the error. Is it as simple as adding a user to Unraid so I can add the data source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi, welcome. What kind of permissions errors? On what screen exactly? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokmiuhy 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm still running through the wizard and am at the step where i'm asked to select a media folder. I enter in the server location \\Server-IP\media When I click OK, I get a pop up that says "There was an error adding the media path. Please ensure the path is valid and the Emby Server process has access to that location." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 What if you try to add a folder instead of a share, for example, \\server\share\folder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Although it really shouldn't be a problem. Are you sure there are no typos? If you enter that same path directly into windows explorer, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mount the drive, you'd point to the mount point in the wizard. If you set up sharing via nfs or smb, you'd point the wizard to the share, ie, nfs://path/to/share. The \\Server-IP\media is Windows terminology... doesn't work in *nix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokmiuhy 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 What if you try to add a folder instead of a share, for example, \\server\share\folder ? I already do that. My mistake for not explaining that above. Missed a level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enter that same path directly into windows explorer, what happens? I copy the path right from explorer on my windows machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
