Can't add remote nfs library with Version 3.0.8500.0

[JPh 0]

Hello, 

 

I'm really confused on how to add a new library with Emby Server. I basically get the same error as here [1] or here [2].

 

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

 

So, to use screenshots (maybe outdated) from the docs [3], I'm doing this:

 

I could click on folders (/, /boot, Network).

 

For my case, I want to configure network, so I click network.

 

It's then written on the top

 

Folder:

Network

 

Its content is:

...

 

So I click on Shared network folder:

And add my nfs share:

nfs://IP_OF_SERVER/EXPORT/PATH/

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

In my log I see:

I don't see my NFS server there! It's like I did all of this for nothing.

 

Should I mount my nfs server on my emby machine first, and add the nfs there too? Then why is there an entry "Network" there?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I don't believe the mono runtime supports this. What you need to do is mount it as a local folder on the system, then add that to Emby.

Ok thanks.
