Luke 37093 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi, despite this, it still looks to be missing read permissions to that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 651 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Directories (folders) need execute permissions for access. You need r-x for group or other so that emby can access/navigate down the path and group rwx on Movishare if you want emby to create files.

jerry.hitman@gmail.com 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks for the above comments. so when I go home today, I shall try to give execute permission for "myname" and group "emby". let me know if this is wrong. P.S: there was no emby user created. By default, emby picked my computer username "myname" as emby username while setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Emby user on the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry.hitman@gmail.com 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 @Luke: I will create a new user called emby and will ggive execute permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 651 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) What Luke means is that when you installed Emby it should have created an OS user named emby (and emby group) which owns the software and the runtime process. This is the user:group which needs access to the files and directories on the system. The one in the UI is the application user and/or admin account, not the same as the OS user.

jerry.hitman@gmail.com 0 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thank you for your reply. What I have done in two days is, I have Logged in as user (Myname), Created a folder called Movieshare.So the location is /Home/myname/Movieshare. Gave the permission to read and write (graphical way) for "Emby -EmbyServer" user and the group is Emby. But the emby web portal will not accept "/Home/myname/Movieshare". Will accept only "/home/myname". I logged in as root ( Graphical way in GNome desktop) , created a new folder called Homeflix, tried the same emby user:group permissions. Still the emby web portal will not see anything beyond /root. I am unable to understand where I am making mistake? My TV connects to the emby server. I can login either to a user called emby or myname. But no files are listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 651 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Start a terminal session, run the commands below and post the output. Linux is case sensitive so use the actual names you are using for the directories. ps -C EmbyServer -o user,group,pid,ppid,fname ls -ld /home ls -ld /home/myname ls -ld /home/myname/Movieshare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry.hitman@gmail.com 0 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 UPDATE: hello all. I have managed to play movies on TV using Centos Emby server. All I did was, gave "go+" permission for a new folder. Earlier I was giving permission specific to emby and my name. SORTED. thank you all for your input and time.
