gattolfo 1 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) @Luke i followed this guide (https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001162194-google-drive), but nothing appears ... the songs are already all above, before i was hosta emby on windows and i used drive stream and it was fine, but now i am on linux Edited December 3, 2020 by gattolfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37006 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Nothing appears where? The songs still need to be added to your emby library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattolfo 1 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) in the home where there should be all the folders with the songs I think it's a bug, if I add a "pop" / home / music / pop library directly on the vps it shows it in the metadata but not in the visualization Edited December 3, 2020 by gattolfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi @gattolfoI think you may have misunderstood the knowledge base article. What this does is take media ALREADY existing locally and according to your setup/configuration uploads/syncs it to Google Drive. This allows some Emby clients the ability to play the content back directly from Google Drive. This is useful for example to take the latest episode of a TV series such as Game of Thrones and upload/sync it to Google so people outside you house can play it back from "the cloud". So you send it out from your house once and it can get used multiple times. If you delete the local media it "syncs" this on the cloud and removes it as well. The sync jobs you setup in Emby can be anything from a whole library to just the X most recent, etc depending on your needs. If on the other hand you want ALL media to exist in the cloud as STORAGE then you use can just manually put the media on Google Drive and then setup something like RCLONE on the local computer. Rclone will make Google Drive appear as a local drive letter. While this does work it's not 100% reliable because Google does impose limits on the amount of bandwidth you can use per period of time. It also makes scanning media take longer as the content isn't local to the Emby Server. Does this help at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattolfo 1 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 @cayars yes it helps me, and I thought it did a job equal to drive stream, now can I ask you something? Since google drive stream is not there for linux, does r-clone do the same thing? in addition I tried google-drive-ocamlfuse but it gives me problems because the vps obviously has no graphical interface (I apologize for my bad English and sorry if I understand wrong but I'm Italian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't know what google drive stream for linux is (I'm not really a Linux guy) but do know rclone is available on many OS and does not need a gui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37006 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Try running a library scan, then please provide the emby server log when it completes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you setup Emby using rcone then Emby will pull the media as needed. If you play back media from your Emby server outside your home network it would look like this: Google -> Emby Server -> Emby Client So all media will run through the server.

Se riproduci file multimediali dal tuo server Emby al di fuori della tua rete domestica, apparirà così: Google -> Emby Server -> Emby Client Quindi tutti i media verranno eseguiti attraverso il server. okay, but will they be downloaded to the vps?

Carlo 4330 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Don't know what you're asking. If you run Emby Server on a VPS there won't be any "downloading" per say. Emby will pull/stream the file from Google Drive and pass it to the Emby Client. If Emby has to transcode the file then you will need temp storage on the Emby Server big enough to hold the media as it's being converted. Keep in mind you only get so much bandwidth to use from Google per day so I personally wouldn't be storing pure RIPs but instead files that have been properly compressed.

Carlo 4330 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'd check the rclone forums for this type of thing.
