screwworld 0 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have a four disks synology-NAS and emby docker running on it . Simply, my file structure is : /mnt/movies=>/volume1 #phisical hard disk1 |-/Remotemovie =>/volume2/2ndmovie #phisical hard disk2,NFS SHARE. ----- In the proceed of installation , the mount point is as /mnt/movies, emby server shows movie wall. I use "mount -t nfs /volume1/Remotemovie /volume2/2ndmovie". Open nas file manager, in /volume1/Remotemovie ,I see all the files phisacally located in /volume2/2ndmovie. So the map folder is successful. ------ QUESTION: add "/mnt/movies/Remotemovie" to library ,it says "no items found".I've checked many posts in this forum from 2016~2018,but I can't solve it . It seems like a file system problem not a emby problem , should advanced member/architect show me some screenshots to work out or mayby some example of the UNC path?

Luke 37113 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi, can you try it with cifs instead of nfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwworld 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi,Luke I will try cifs. I saw many posts suggetions are : step 1) make nfs share step 2) mount to the entry made at insallation proceed step 3) the most confused: give emby's user R/W authority of the nfs directory,but nfs config all-squash as admin‘s UID&GID,so what purpose of step 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwworld 0 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi,luke I tried mount remote folder using cifs to "/volome1/rRemotemovie",but the result is the same. when I click the new library ,it shows"no items found". I saw the post"https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/38561-add-media-library-from-second-synology-box/?hl=%2Bsmb+%2Bmount&do=findComment&comment=361531", member SuppeGris using your method, and he was done.But I don;t know what wrong I did. I saw the post"https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/85695-accessing-external-usb-drive/". I confused at nas user and emby user authority. I guess emby user can access local machine's hard disk, but it can not access another machine hard disk ,but when I mount cifs folder,I provided another machine's user/passoword. May I add emby user to nas administrators group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37113 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Have you checked the permissions recursively to ensure the embysvr user has read permissions on the contents? @@FrostByte may have some tips on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5052 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Did you run a scan after adding the library? Here's a pic of my movies library. MyEmbyMedia is the Synology shared folder, then movies is the library name I gave the user embysvr permissions to the shared folder per step 3 here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Setting-Up-Your-Media-Library-Share Edited May 4, 2020 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
