Emby cannot see the audio files in this directory

[eric90066 0]

When I was running emby using the app I had no problem seeing and streaming all my music files in all directories.

 

The music is organized in a folder called music. 

 

Within that folder are some 300 subfolders with the names of each artist.

 

Within those folders are either audio files or subfolders which contain music files.

 

I am now running Emby on my qnap in a docker container. 

 

With the docker, I set up shared folders so I can map directories in the main nas to the emby container.

 

This works for all directories except this one music directory.

 

Important to note - there is another directory with audio files.  Its arranged a little different with fewer sub folders.  

 

Could the issue be the large number of sub folders?

Hi @@eric90066, can you give an example? Can you show a screenshot of the folder contents?

 

How did you setup the library in Emby library setup? thanks !

Hi Luke, 

 

Thanks for the reply.  

 

I've attached an image of the directory seen from the command line from within the Emby docker. 

 

And yes, I tried to setup the library from within the Emby library.  

 

The problem is the library shows nothing. 

 

Again, see attached.

Hi, 

 

Tried that to no avail.

Follow up -- this problem is resolved. 

 

The issue:  for some reason the directory /music (and only /music) permission were not set correctly.
