Dave9999 4 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Are there plans to release an Emby version that will handle the migration by itself, or will the current method be needed in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 There are no plans to do so because under DSM 7 an installer script can't get "admin/root" access to copy files. We already tried a few different ways. Having the specific one-time migration instructions is likely the best we can do. It's something we would have liked to do via software but it's out of our hands. DSM 7 has a much better security layer in place, so that's the upside. No one knows what the future will hold with DSM 8 (if/when it arrives) so we honestly don't know what will happen then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a person was on 4.5 on DSM 6 and upgraded to DSM 7 and used 4.6 it would likely still work but just throws in complications of an Emby upgrade in the process which makes diagnosing pure DSM upgrade glitches harder. Hope that helps Thanks. In the migration instructions there is this step"remove emby_pkg user and video group". I did not start the migration yet. I do not. have a user named "emby_pkg", only the user named "emby". Do I remove the emby user, and add a user 'Emby' ? Does the case matter, Emby or emby?

Carlo 4330 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 You can forget about removing the user and the group item if you don't see them. They are used only for DSM 6. The only reason needed to remove them is just to get rid of user/group that isn't needed. It won't cause any issues for the DSM 7 Emby install. No you do not create any new accounts but will have to grant read/write to the new system internal emby user created with the DSM 7 install of Emby for each share that will hold media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi, you're using the DSM 6 version. Instead download and install the DSM 7 version. https://emby.media/synology7-server.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user101xy 24 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi after finishing the upgrade from Emby to DSM7 i get no items in the Folder of my Synology where all my videos are in.

Do you have TV Shows and Movies all lumped together or have them broken out such? /voume1/videos/movies /volume1/videos/tv shows Did you follow the step to grant read/write permissions to the system internal emby user on your shares?

gregoryborah 0 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) My conversion was simple ... 1. Install DSM 7 version 2. Grant access to locations (especially the location of the system configuration backup files) 3. Restore from backup using System Configuration Backup plugin I hardly use Emby anymore, so maybe I am missing things and just dont realize.

user101xy 24 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) @cayars Yes, all content (shows, series and films) is in the folder /volume1/video and the permissions are all released by Emby. UPDATE: I have set permission in an other setting in my Synology. and now it seems to work. Sorry... but thank you @cayars for the info Edited September 6, 2021 by user101xy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user101xy 24 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi @cayars thank you for your message! No there are no other folders under it. But i have good news... Could set the permission on my Synology active for the Emby folder. Now it seems fine! Have a nice day and thank you for your support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Glad you got things working but I would suggest taking a look at these two knowledge base articles and re-arranging your media into different locations to separate movies from shows and setting up separate libraries for each path.

Carlo 4330 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 It would bring over everything you had previously on DSM 6 including all the existing meta-data and pics vs having to reload them on DSM 7 with a new installation. Basically if you migrate and follow the op post directions then everything should just work under DSM 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iam4uk 26 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Upgraded to DSM7 and Emby Server 4.6.4.0 "Welcome to Emby." No users, no libraries, forgot my Premiere status... And, Library Setup won't find ANY folders on the NAS. I have no way to even set everything back up from scratch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
