ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hello,I am having an issue with Emby being able to see my media collection. I tried to use Emby Docker image in OMV but I did not find any guides and I could not get it working. I installed Emby by SSH into my NAS under the root account. I am able to access the WebUI and it seems to be working. My issue is that when I try to add a share folder to the library, Emby complains that it is not there. I am only guessing but i think it is a permission issue. I am running OMV4. I have a pool of 4 drives under UnionFS. My folder structure is set up where the main folder is "Media". under that, I have a folder for SD Movies, HD Movies, and UHD Moves, TV Shows Etc.Any insight would be appreciated.

ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just an update. I uninstalled emby and want to reinstalled it. I know how to SSH in as root. What are the preffered way to install it? Should a create a new user "emby"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Is it recommended to do the Docker in OMV or install on the system direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then make sure that user has r/w to your mount(s), and that's it. The link Luke provided should walk you through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I can install Docker-CE in OMV. I could not figure out the setting for Emby so I tried to install directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yes. You should never install/run things as root. Create a new user and run the container as that user. Then make sure that user has r/w to your mount(s), and that's it. The link Luke provided should walk you through it. The link looks like its dealing with an install when Docker is installed. I only have OMV. I installed the Docker Plug-in. I DL the Emby image from the Repo. I started it with Network Mode set to Host, and I added "/sharefolders/media" to the Host path. I added user "emby" and gave it permissions under ACL to read/write the Media folder and all file/subfolders inside. Under Privileges, I gave user emby read/write. When I try to add the share to "Movies-UHD" that is under "Media", Emby cannot find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Not sure then, I'm not familiar w/ OMV. You might have better luck asking the question in the OMV section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks... I did but no one responded yet. That is why I wanted to install emby direct and not in a docker so I can reach a greater pool of users in case I had questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ZIPNVW 1 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Solution Share Posted February 7, 2018 Well... I got it to work finally. Thank you very much mastrmind11 for trying to help. I scrapped docker and installed emby via the Atp Tool. I added the repository for Debian9 from Opensuse.org. I guess this helps with permissions since emby started up and found the media folder.I was very close to scraping the whole thing and just install Server2016 but I tried one last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
