Cannot transcode music: Too many levels of symbolic link

Hi there,

I have Emby installed in a docker.  It works for playing back movies and TV without issue, transcoding or otherwise.  When I try to listen to music, however, I get an error that states "No compatible streams found."  Reviewing the log I see two ffmpeg errors both stating "Too many levels of symbolic links" when trying to open/read the file.  The music files themselves are accessed through the same folder structure as TV/Movies, all of which work fine.  My googling has not been very fruitful on this error so I'm unsure where to go to next, any ideas?  Excerpt from log file below.

Sorry, I probably should've explained that up front.

 

I am not using symbolic links, but in the eyes of ffmpeg it's possible I guess?  Files are stored on a file server running OpenMediaVault in a mergerFS volume.  This volume is mounted via NFS to a separate VM running Debian and Docker.  Emby runs within that docker with the NFS mounted volume shared to it.

Thanks mastrmind11.  This pointed me in the right direction, though I used a slightly different solution.

For future google results:  When launching the docker container, add :shared to your media volume declaration when using NFS to prevent this issue.

docker run -d \
    --volume /path/to/programdata:/config \ # This is mandatory
    --volume /path/to/share1:/mnt/share1:shared \ # To mount a share using NFS
    --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \ # To mount all render nodes for VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC
    --runtime=nvidia \ # To expose your NVIDIA GPU
    --publish 8096:8096 \ # To expose the HTTP port
    --publish 8920:8920 \ # To expose the HTTPS port
    --env UID=1000 \ # The UID to run emby as (default: 2)
    --env GID=100 \ # The GID to run emby as (default 2)
    --env GIDLIST=100 \ # A comma-separated list of additional GIDs to run emby as (default: 2)
    emby/embyserver:latest
