JeffWScott 2 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have my main server that has an attached file-system from another ubuntu server which houses the media files. The mount point is /share/media. When I try and add my /share/media/TVshows to my emby TV library I get "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again." .. I can browse from the emby web client to the directory, so it obviously exists.. I'm not sure where to start because I didn't have any problem adding this location into Plex... it just worked. I added the emby user to the group that has access to the directory and I also switched to the emby user and validated that the user can browse the folders. Where do I start here? Very new to emby. if it helps my connection string in /etc/exports is: /share/media 192.168.1.76(rw,sync,no_root_squash) 192.168.1.79(rw,sync,no_root_squash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the output of: ls -hlpa /share/media/TVshows ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWScott 2 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 What's the output of: ls -hlpa /share/media/TVshows ? Switched to emby user using "sudo su -s /bin/bash emby " ran "ls -hlpa /share/media/TVshows" and I get a listing of the TVshows directory, as I would expect. permissions on the directories is "drwxr-xr-x" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution dcrdev 251 Posted March 5, 2018 Solution Share Posted March 5, 2018 Switched to emby user using "sudo su -s /bin/bash emby " ran "ls -hlpa /share/media/TVshows" and I get a listing of the TVshows directory, as I would expect. permissions on the directories is "drwxr-xr-x" Right, Yeah that looks fine then - have you restarted the emby service since adding the emby user to the group? That type of change requires a fresh session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
