theReverend 4 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Help? I have a Synology DS418play. The other day I performed a prompted update to my NAS; when I tried to access Emby today, I couldn't. I was prompted with setting up a new account... I assume because the package was renamed, my old info is no longer available. Is it possible to rename the old package so I can maintain my database? If so, how can I do that?
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Under DSM 7 Emby no longer uses any Synology "Local users". To set permissions on your shared folders you need to use the new Synology "System internal user" called emby instead by clicking the dropdown box. You may delete or disable any old Synology Local user used by Emby if you wish. Synology DSM users and Emby client users are not the same. Any user you were prompted to create during installation was a Emby client user and not a Synology DSM user used for permissions on your NAS. The DSM 7 user is automatically created for you during install In order to bring everything from your old DSM 6 install to DSM 7 including Emby client users, watch status, database etc follow the instructions in the link below 1

theReverend 4 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Not yet. I put this off because I knew I would be in for fun. Although I've been able to access via Putty, the operations are not permitted Update: I am now able to copy the files... after much effort. Not fully working yet but maybe on the way. Update: This worked... Thank you. Edited December 4, 2021 by theReverend Final Update

theReverend 4 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 So far everything appears to be operating as expected and all of the previous database appears to be intact. 2
