Permissions: Emby drives not accessible on Windows client

[teiva]

Ubuntu Server 16.04.1

SAMBA version 2: 4.3.11

Windows 10 client (Bash/Putty)

Emby 3.0.8100.0

Docker 1.12.2

 

"Movies" folder has been added to Emby library but cannot get access from Windows client.

"Test" folder Emby cannot locate but I have access from Windows client

 

What I've tried so far...

1. Matching workgroups between ubuntu server and windows client

2. Added automount into fstab

3. Turned off smb2/3 on windows client

4. Created a SAMBA user to match the user logged in on Windows client

 

What I haven't tried...

1. Matching folder/file perms to emby user/group >> default emby user and emby group was not found and I have no idea where to look within docker to get the emby config for users and groups

Side Notes:

My windows user that I'm logging in as belongs to my designated group for the folder permissions on Ubuntu. It was a weird process since windows 10 usernames are emails. I had to force a bad name for Ubuntu to take the email.

sudo adduser --force-badname <username@email.com>

 

In addition directories containing spaces will not work with this setup. "TV Shows" vs "TV".
