Pendaz 0 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 I've just installed a fresh install of emby on my ubuntu server, previously was running as a plex server (i'm hoping to switch) My media is located on a nas drive externally and i have mounts setup using cifs, i can access the external media by doing cd /media/plex/shows cd /media/plex/movies Both of these mounts show up in plex but during the emby configuration wizard browsing to /media shows only /media/CDRom Is this a permissions issue maybe? If so what user / permissions should i grant to access these mounts? Thanks

mastrmind11 718 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 you need to add the emby user to the group that has access to those mounts https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-user-to-a-group-or-second-group-on-linux/ or make emby the main user of those mounts using chown
