Nilsb7 2 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks a lot for this! The video combined with the written explanation in the first post of this thread worked flawlessly. Synology: DS214play Emby version: emby-server-synology7-mono_4.7.0.10_x86 I would highly suggest you add these steps after the migration is complete though: disable the default admin account again disable ssh again also, I'm guessing we can now remove the old shared folder called Emby, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks for the kind words. I did edit the op post and added this at the bottom: Notes: You can now disable the default admin account as well as SSH. You may also want to rename /volume/Emby to /volume/Emby6 as well. This will help make sure you don't have anything referencing the old directory. If you don't notice any issues in a week or two you can delete this old folder/share to free up space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, in those notes that you just added, you wrote "/volume/" instead of "/volume1/" Thanks for all the work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkXP71 99 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 @cayars Worked great (so far, its currently copying 4gb of data in the cash/library/metadata folders). One point of note, on my 918+ I have the 517 extension system and all its drives in a separate volume. My Emby folder was in /volume2 You may want to put a note about this possibility in your instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reading through, there were a couple of common "Problems" You might want to consider adding a "trouble shooting guide" * Its a running like a brand new emby install -> Confirm you copied the cache files (One I just hit) * After I restart the server, it stops -> Confirm you ran the chmod step. Otherwise the emby user wont have the proper permissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 What's the 517 extension system? Yea I did think about making notes as to the paths but figured anyone advanced enough to know how to install to a different volume would be smart enough to look at the copy or chown command and know to change the paths to their own location. Sometimes less is more (I've learned) so not trying to handle every exception is better as it already seems like a lot of steps. Besides if the migration didn't work I think most people would make a post and ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DX517 is a plug and play way of adding 5 bays to many of the synology boxes (not all support it) Its a great way to extend the life of your system if you want more space/drives but not buy another unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mileomco 1 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi, After updating Emby server in my Synology NAS DSM7, I'm trying to add libraries with multimedia content form NAS to Emby, but Emby doesn't recognize the path of them (volume1 in NAS) What can I do?

Carlo 4330 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Did you follow grant read/write access to any share being used for the system internal emby user? You can refer to the first post in this thread or video in that post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileomco 1 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I followed the steps but I realized that I didn’t give permissions to the emby internal user. Now it works perfectly Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitarobb 0 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 i don't have the space avail to make a 'copy'... - copy files from old Emby share to new data location: cp -rv /volume1/Emby/* /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer ...will a 'move' work instead and if so, what addt'l mod's are required to make all this work ?

Do you have your media in the same location as the DSM6 Emby install? Reason being the space required should be minimal because you're only copying over system configuration files so that you retain watch status, etc. A move works also. The only reason for copying the files was in case there was an issue and you needed to redo something. If your media is there also then that would take up too much unneeded space. However, I would recommend separating your media and Emby if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitarobb 0 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 gotcha...poor assumption on my part then i was just initially reading into the instructions and thought that command would be 'copying' all my video-files...D'Oh !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l4v4l4mp3 1 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) I was on DSM7 since Months already and everything was working fine. But last night a few apps had installed updates, and after that emby was not working at all. I found this thread and did every step from the first post. Now I am at least able to see my emby in browser and from media clients, but I am unable to start any media. My nvidia shield is just loading for ever and my Browser says "derzeit sind keine kompatiblen stream verfügbar" which should mean sth like "currently there is no compatible stream available" I also reinstalled emby again , but same as before... So for now I am out of luck and hav no idea how to proceed to get it working again. So maybe someone have a hint for me //Few mins after i posted it here, I found my issue and it was just really stupid. - After several restarts - had not mounted my data Share back Edited September 19, 2021 by l4v4l4mp3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minhwind 1 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Hi! I've been running Emby fine over the years on a DS918+, until yesterday I decided to update DishStation to 7.0 without realizing there's a written instructions above by @cayars for migrating Emby from DSM 6 to DSM 7. Before, the updating process between DSM and Emby have always been a smooth transition until today. Currently, my Emby server version is already on 4.6.4.0-3001 and my DiskStation is version is 7.0-41890. When launching the new version of Emby, its asking me to create a new user + password. I didn't proceed any further as I don't know how it will affect my current library. Is it too late to follow the video steps above? How do resync my previous user account + media without having to restart from the beginning. If anyone can point me to the right direction, that would be helpful. I attached some screenshots as well. Thank you so much! Edited September 28, 2021 by minhwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just shut down Emby on the NAS and start the migration steps skipping the upgrade to DSM 7 as you've already done this. As long as you don't delete /volume1/Emby volume (your DSM 6 version of Emby) you can do the migration steps over and over. So if you hit a problem just send me a PM and I can remote in and help. I've done about 75 of these upgrades remotely now to assist people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGo 103 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just wondering if the migration process will be automatic at any point in the future? I've been putting off the DSM7 upgrade as I didn't want the hassle of a manual process, but I see that DSM7 has been officially launched today in some regions so want to ask the question.

Carlo 4330 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 No it won't as DSM 7 is locked down and won't allow root access to copy the files. DSM 7 was released I think at the end of June. Today they just released 7.01 which was in beta previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
