Marcus67 1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I am new to this and feel lost how to setup emby on a Synolgy DS218+. Steps done so far: 1. Copied the file emby-server-synology_4.5.4.0_x86_64.spk to the NAS 2. Manually uploaded it into the package station 3. Opened it in the package centre (strange enough it started a new FireFox TAB on the open Browser which gives the impression it will be installed on my local pc) 4. Followed the steps - at folders I couldnt browse the media folders of the NAS but only got systemfolders 5. So I entered the IP in the network for NAS which can be accessed by explorer e.g. (seeing here all my media files) 6. When I scan the library emby find no files I must have made something wrong - ayn help / hint is very appreciated. Thank you Marcus EDIT ===== I am able now to see a /Volume1 where I see /video as subfolder but when I choose the path to /video emby always deletes the entry and the folder input field went red marked (see pictures). When I call localhost:8096 I am able to see all my movies on the NAS, but not over the netadress which is shown by emby. I can see emby start page which is good but no files. Of course the library must be empty as long as I cannot tell emby how to find the files. Edited January 18, 2021 by Marcus67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross44 233 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Do you have sharing set up on the folder? Making sure it's readable by Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross44 233 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Make sure you have the NFS settings for the folder to the appropriate settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaj 241 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Make sure in the NAS Control Panel - User - Emby - Edit - Permissions, that user Emby has Read/Write permission on your media root folder. In my case all my video media folders (TV Shows and Movies) are within a folder called Videos, so I've set Emby to have R/W permission for the Videos folder, and my music is under a separate folder called Music, so I've set Emby to have R/W permission on that too.

Marcus67 1 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all, sorry for the late reply. I updated the to the latest EMBY server and out of sudden I was able to browse the folders. To be honest as a noob I cannot tell now if I made somethng wrong before or whatever happened on the NAS - but it works now. The only thing left is that between my SONY TV and the synology the movies are jerking and stopping - this is kinda annyoing. I tried to stream on the TV from Amazon etc. and it works like a charme, I also tried to stream emby movies on my PC and it works fine so I do not believe its a WLAN issue or the like, bt I have no idea what the problem is. It happens not continouus but mostly with every 2nd film - a pity. But I believe its not really an emby problem Thanks all for your help, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus67 1 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi all, as a final info: I changed my TV to a Samsung and voilà all the issues are gone noy and the stream is smooth and fine. No stoppings anymore, so it was the TV Sony Bravia that caused the issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus67 1 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hello, I installed emby on the NAS and used a browser on the Sony to approach the emby via internal IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
