Ranger One 0 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'm back with Emby as I can now install it on my NVidia Shield TV. Just signed up for Premiere. Ran setup, libraries Live tv work fine. I have all me Media on my WD MyCloud NAS. I was using Plex TV Server which was recording my HDHomerun programs to my NAS. Gave up do to guide issues with OTA & HDHomerun Premium TV Mixed together. My issue is the following message when I try to set my tv recording destination to a folder on my MyCloud NAS. "Emby Server requires write access to this folder. Please ensure write access and try again." I have my Emby Server User name the same as I have for my NAS. I check on the NVidia Shield TV & the "The Tv Recordings" folder from the MyCloud show up under the "mounted shares" . How do I solve this? Happy to be back! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Luke 37095 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 hi @@Ranger One, you need to make sure that emby server has write access to your folder, otherwise it will fail to save recordings. Have you done that? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyplayer 90 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) hi @@Ranger One, you need to make sure that emby server has write access to your folder, otherwise it will fail to save recordings. Have you done that? Thanks ! Everything is working ok but writing to a nas is not working. The folders I am testing to write too are public and everyone has full access. This is the error I get when trying use a nas folder … that is a public folder and has full access... I do not plan on writing to a NAS but figured I test it out.

Ranger One 0 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Luke: I made sure the Tv Recordings folder has full read write access for my user name. When I did the setups with Plex & HD Homerun DVR I browsed to the folders I wanted & would be prompted for my username & password. Once I supplied that I was all set. In the Emby setup: when I browse to folder I don't get the prompt for my username & password, just the "Emby Server requires write access to this folder. Please ensure write access and try again." If there is a log you need then let me know where to look & I will post it. If I could get this working I will be greatfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger One 0 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I just went into Emby setup to setup the "Transcode" folder. Same access error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I just went into Emby setup to setup the "Transcode" folder. Same access error message. Why not just use the default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger One 0 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Luke: I was just going by the reply from mastrmind11. I have no problem with leaving the "Transcode" setting to default. The issue is getting Emby DVR to record to my TV Recordings folder on my NAS, where I have a lot of space. Need to solve the "write access" problem. I have the folder setup for full permissions.

Luke 37095 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Correct, we don't currently have any settings to enter network credentials so it will need anonymous write access. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
