GloverEggs 6 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I'm hoping this is just a dumpshit on my part. I updated to 4.6.1.0 this morning using the Synology package service and the 64 bit package at https://emby.media/synology-server.html. I have a DS920+. Everything went smoothly with the update (as opposed to doing it through docker which kept it at 4.5.4.0). However, I was updating some items and I noticed some weird things which then got me looking more. The main issue right now is that my Emby folder isn't showing. In Emby's dashboard it still shows: Paths Cache: /volume1/Emby/cache Logs: /volume1/Emby/logs Metadata: /volume1/Emby/metadata Transcoding temporary files: /volume1/Emby/transcoding-temp BUT... when I go to the Synology File Station, nothing. No Emby folder. Needless to say my backups were in the Emby folder as were collection images that are now gone. So, help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaj 241 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 @GloverEggsYou have to give your user read/write permission for the Emby folder. Control Panel - Shared Folder - select the Emby folder - Edit - Permissions - then give you user read/write After that you will be able to access the Emby folder.

GloverEggs 6 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Thank you! Very, very glad it was a stupid question with an easy answer. I didn't think that it would change the file permissions. Never even crossed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaj 241 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Glad it worked. You will have to repeat this after every Emby update, as the permissions get reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJX 18 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Strange. I updated on my DS920+ and the permission didnt get reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaj 241 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 @DJXDo you use the default admin user? I have that disabled and my user set up as the admin. Whenever I update Emby I have to give my user permissions again to view the Emby folder. 918+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood if you are using a different user in place of user "emby" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have I. But emby doesnt use that admin account so I am confused why it matters?? edit; ah i reread the initial issue - he couldnt see the directories. ok!
