The Path Could Not Be Found

[crazy4emby 1]

Hi Team.  I'm having fits trying to get Emby to add a library. My path, with and without the network, turns the magnifying glass green. But then when I click ok I get this message. 

 

 

 

 

 

I am mounting the drive with fstab:

/dev/sda1 /media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE ntfs-3g rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

 

All of my permissions are read write everyone:

 

kiosk@orangepipc:/media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE$ ls -l

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 14 00:22 Movies

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 14 00:17 $RECYCLE.BIN

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 14 00:16 System Volume Information

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 14 00:24 TV Shows

 

This is an orange pi pc running armbian legacy. 

 

I have trolled the other posts with similar screens but nobody seems to have this problem on a linux box.  

 

Any help would be help.

Emby Server must not have read permission to that folder.

Did you try creating a file from terminal outside of Emby?

sudo -u emby bash

cd /media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE

touch test.file

 If everybody has permissions why wouldn't Emby? 

 

Why would it be green?

 

kiosk@orangepipc:/media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE$ sudo -u emby bash

[sudo] password for kiosk: 

emby@orangepipc:/media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE$ touch test.file

emby@orangepipc:/media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE$ ls

Movies  $RECYCLE.BIN  System Volume Information  test.file  TV Shows

emby@orangepipc:/media/kiosk/MEDIADRIVE$

Did you check permissions for the emby system user?

You would think these permissions would work

-rw-rw-rw-

 

But no - they don't

 

You have to also make the directory + files executable

 

drwxrwxrwx  5 admin1 admin1 4096 Feb  4 19:44 u41video
ls -l /mnt/u41video/MOVIES.41/
total 5689972
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin1 admin1 2563381241 Feb  2 22:17 aaa.mkv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin1 admin1 1697241144 Feb  5 05:53 bbb.mkv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin1 admin1 1565891858 Feb  2 20:24 ccc.mkv

 

Simply do a

sudo chmod -R a+rwx /mnt/u41video

 

... and it works.

Correct it needs to be recursive if you want your media to be detected.

The files themselves definitely don't need to be executable.  The folder definitely does, since that's how the file system gives access to the stuff inside the folder.  Basic linux permissioning, nothing specific to Emby here.
