Change Metadata Folder Location

[jmccl069 7]

I have just changed from Windows Emby Server to Freenas and am having issues with changing the Metadata folder (ImagesbyName).

 

I have gone into the Library / Advanced tab and tried changing the Metadata path. It lets me select the correct folder but when I hit "Save" it just gives me the rotating circle and doesn't do anything else.

 

My previous windows installation had no problems with changing the metadata location.

 

Anyone else have this problem?

 

Alternately can someone tell me where the config file for this is on Freenas so I can edit it manually?

 

Thanks...

Can you please attach the emby server log from the time you tried to hit save? you can learn how to do that here:

It looks like the server does not have write access to the location  you specified:

That's something you'll need to look at, however, we can certainly do a better job of informing you about this as opposed to just a spinning circle, so we'll look at that, thanks.

Thanks for the info Luke. Looks like I have solved the problem with the permissions.

Solution #2 seemed to work
