CalypsoCowboy 4 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I apologize a head of time, there have been Window's patches, unRAID version changes, and Emby updates, system restarts so I don't know when these errors started occuring. My movies and music are setup on a separate unRAID server and the shares are setup so that Public can see them. The only users setup on the server are root, test, and mymovies user. I'm running Emby 3.1.2, installed as my main user, on a Windows 10 Home box that is patched at currently levels. Emby is normally setup to run as a service, with it setup to logon as "local system". I've got it setup on a Delayed Start and it seems like only recently I've had problems. I don't have the logs of when the problem started. What I currently see happening is that when the service starts the Library Monitor isn't able to find or see the network path 2017-01-01 10:11:12.1244 Error LibraryMonitor: Error watching path: \\cascade\Movies *** Error Report *** Version: 3.1.2.0 Command line: C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\System\MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe -service Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True Processor count: 4 Program data path: C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server Application directory: C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\System System.ArgumentException: The directory name \\cascade\Movies is invalid. at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher..ctor(String path, String filter) at Emby.Server.Core.IO.LibraryMonitor.<>c__DisplayClass38_0.<StartWatchingPath>b__0() System.ArgumentException at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher..ctor(String path, String filter) at Emby.Server.Core.IO.LibraryMonitor.<>c__DisplayClass38_0.<StartWatchingPath>b__0() When I stop the service, and just run the server from the desktop, it is able to see the directory. 017-01-01 10:24:28.6962 Info LibraryMonitor: Unable to add directory watcher for \\cascade\Movies.

Solution ebr 14903 Posted January 2, 2017 Solution Share Posted January 2, 2017 Did you configure credentials for the service? Unable to access media when running server as a service 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 When running as a service and accessing files by UNC path, \\cascade\movies in your log, the service should not be running under the account Local System. It doesn't have the rights uou need. Change the service to run under your user account or some other user with rights to \\cascade\movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalypsoCowboy 4 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I could have swore I had it running before with Local System, but maybe not. Thanks for the information. I need to do some changes, but will set it up with an appropriate user. -Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If everything was on the same machine then "Local System" would work fine, but everything is external so specific user logon is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
