neutronspin 1 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I just installed the Emby plugin on my new FreeNAS server and added a new Movie library in Emby using this path: /media I scanned my Windows share folders location from Emby which contained the movies and Emby scanned and imported them along with metadata.. Next I created another library named Music using this path: (the same as the movies library) /media For some reason when I scanned the newly created Music library using the same path as my Movie library no content was discovered. The source media files are located in a shared Windows mapped drive on my console with folders containing the movie and music files. These are folders Movies and Music. I used the same shared source and destination locations in Plex and the music files were copied successfully using the same path to FreeNAS. I am hoping there are some FreeNAS experts who can shed some light on this. I am not Linux experienced and maybe I am doing something wrong. I tried using Windows folder names and the path was rejected in Emby. I am a Premier member and want to keep using Emby as my media hub but am stuck....any help appreciated. I am including a screenshot of my windows FreeNAS shares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutronspin 1 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Also I am confused about the FreeNAS jail setup. I only created one storage location in FreeNAS jail..../media. Do I need to add additional paths locations (folders) in my jail storage?....Sorry but Linux isn't my strong point....

Luke 37046 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ok so what you should do is make your movies path /media/Movies and your music path /media/Music. Please try that and let us know if it helps. thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try that and let us know if it helps. thanks. Eureka!....It is scanning the folders but it will take some time many files there and metadata.. Looks like that worked OK. I thought I tried that earlier but perhaps I did something wrong. Thanks for your support....have a great weekend!.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
