Mongoose 0 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi,New Emby user here.My Synology DS218+ directory is called Volume1Before installing Emby onto the DS218+,I placed several movies into the/Volume1/videodirectory.Enable Access to all libraries is Checked.Carefully following the instructions onhttps://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Library-SetupThe library creation appears to have succeeded.My chosen display name is EmbyMoviesAfter doing all that, I went to the My media and found2 directories, one is EmbyMovies and the other is "Folders."Trying both, no movies appeared, All blankI couldn't find a solution athttps://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/674-media-files-folders-structure/unless it's well hidden.I searched around Tutorials and Guides, and cannot findanything describing Movies not showing up. Perhaps Imade errors in setting up folder structure.Am I supposed to create a "Collections" directory andput the movies in it? If so, how do I do this?Thank you for a great website and I look forward toany enlightenment toward (what appears to be) adirectory setup problem.Thanks much,Mongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 check that your emby user has read/write permission to your media folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose 0 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 check that your emby user has read/write permission to your media folders. Hi, @@mastrmind11, Thanks for your quick reply. From within Synology DSM, File Station, Share user folder (Video) all users are Read & Write Advanced Permissions, Advanced Share Permissions Permissions All except Guest are Read/Write From within Emby Access to all libraries is checked. Missing movies (empty folders) persists. Movies in the video folder are in M4V and MP4 formats. Do I need to convert them to something else? Next, I installed Emby onto AppleTV, problem persists, no movies. Thanks again Mongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know I was supposed to set up the user embysvr. Movies now appear, however, following the link above, I got lost between Step 7 and Step 8. I cannot locate the Path Substitution window (where it reads, Folders, Path Substitution, Advanced) I searched and didnt find the Step 8 Window, so please tell me where it is, so I can properly complete steps 8,9, and 10. Above all, Thanks very much! Mongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I think that screen may have changed a little since those procedures were written. If you click on Library, then your movie library, and then the paths under "Folders" you added you should see a box something like this: Edited December 31, 2018 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I am still stuck between 7 and 8. I followed all advice, by the error: "/volume1/MyEmbyMedia/Movies" the path cannot be found. Please help. Is it a sharing issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is old and the permissions have changed with DSM7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If running on DSM 7 you need to grant read/write permissions on the share to the system internal user (drop down list box) for user emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I perhaps should have started a new topic, linking to this. II am on a brand new DS220J, DSM 7. The user rights are tricky. All users and admin I created incl guest have read/write access to MyEmbyMedia folder. I made embysvr the owner of folder/sub folders. I like to know what the DSM 7 is looking for when the path is created of a library. It doesn’t show the movies folder, I have to type it. Thanks for the advice, I just added the read/write for the users group. Nothing improved.

FrostByte 5049 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) No, that is all wrong, especially in DSM7 The only user that needs to be in DSM is the system internal user "emby" which is automatically created by the install. All the users you created in Emby server then use the system internal user "emby" to get access to your files. If you created any users in DSM then you can delete those and just use the one I posted in the pic below. However, libraries within emby server should be setup like mine below for Movies Edited September 20, 2021 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Yay! Thanks for some clarity. I will get to work on this. (I deleted the user emby when I got started….) Edited September 20, 2021 by Beecon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Roger. It looks like you may have used the old DSM6 instructions from above which used embysrvr. But ya, the only privileges in DSM7 you need to worry about is the one in my pic from today. Just use the dropdown menu to see it.

Looks like none of the pages were linked to the main menu so I never ported them over. But I see a "master" list here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Help-and-Support I'll see what I can do to port these pages over to the KB area and of course update as needed. Then replace those pages with a redirect on wiki. That should stop any confusion caused by the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thank you. While I am at it, the import of metadata is running, but nothing is coming in like it did beautifully on my MacBook. I therefore assume it’s a DSM and/or Hardware integration issue. I will get the log files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The log files... You guys provide great support! embyserver-63767798159.txt hardware_detection-63767798198.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi, you have something going on as you're getting lots of errors "InnerException: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Resource temporarily unavailable" You're also getting a lot of errors trying to setup automatic port forwarding so just turn that off. Disable Network->Enable automatic port mapping. I would try restarting the NAS to see if this helps in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Cool. Let me check on that. Any info on which protocol/service Emby uses to get the metadata? It relates to which port it will use. Edited September 21, 2021 by Beecon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beecon 11 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 OK, that did the trick. The metadata is arriving! yeah at last... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, updated instructions for new setups under DSM7 would be great as some things like permissions are different and the DSM6 to DSM7 migration steps don't include library setup, etc like the old instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
