Curious how you are mounting these? 

 

 

For local storage I'm mounting it like .....

/mnt/fakevolumes/Movies/volume1/...

/mnt/fakevolumes/Movies/volume2/...

 

And for samba...something like:

/mnt/samba/Movies/

....

 

To mention, i'm running emby in podman container(not the one from dockerhub) with mounted gpu & volumes and mounting CIFS before starting emby:

# podman logs emby-server
!!! NON-Root environment detected, using sudo.
Mounting SAMBA Volumes...
  ==> Mounting (sudo) "//nas/Clips" to "/mnt/samba/Clips"...

  ==> Mounting (sudo) "//nas/Music" to "/mnt/samba/Music"...
[EXEC] sudo -h 127.0.0.1 mkdir -p /mnt/samba/Music -> [ok]

It somehow works and are manageable with only one drawback, mounted folders could lose connection (on remote restart for example or router restart), and it would require container restart to remount folders. That's why implementation on emby side would be preferable.   At the moment some connection checker is required in the background to remount these static cifs mounts...
