VirtualEmby 1 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Trying to setup Emby to see if I like it better than Plex, and this one cost me a couple hours of head scratching... I have a library tree of several directories, one of those directories is where I stage new movies. It's only readable to me so the kids can't watch them before I can This works fine with Plex, but Emby chokes on the entire library, and won't scan a single directory if even one of them is unreadable... I consider this a bug. If Emby encounters an unreadable directory it should skip it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualEmby 1 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Sure.... mkdir top mkdir top/dir1 mkdir top/dir2 mkdir top/dir3 chown -R mediauser:mediagroup top chown youruser:yourgroup top/dir3 chmod -R a+rx top chmod go-rx top/dir3 Copy a movie into say, top/dir2 Now create a movie library with a path of top. Emby won't see any movies put in dir1 or dir2. This works fine with Plex, it just skips the unreadable directory. Emby bombs out the entire library, 2019-03-09 16:49:38.329 Info HttpServer: HTTP Response 200 to 172.16.2.27.
