Had to break out an old box 

It has Linux Mint 19.3 trica

I had some files on it and they play fine.

I added more and I get the No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details.

I update to 4.6.4 from within linux software manager and it did not correct the issue

Linux new guy here.

I think I see that it MAY BE a ffmpeg issue but I don't know where to get the "fix", if that is it.

I see the terminal and I think I know how to run a command but any COPY and PASTE help would be appreciated.

Thank you

From Device trying to play media

[Q-Droid 989]

Emby is not able to access many files under /home/mike/Public/MEDIA, looks like a permissions problem. Is /home/mike/Public/MEDIA internal, external or network storage?

From the terminal:
$ id mike
$ id emby
$ namei -l /home/mike/Public/MEDIA/TV
$ ls -la "/home/mike/Public/MEDIA/Foreign TV/Downton Abbey/Season 1/"

If no namei then:
$ ls -la /home/mike/Public/MEDIA

It's internal.

Same drive and public folder as the folders are in that play.

Thanks for deciphering that for me.

I'll look and see what permissions I have on the working folders vs the non working.

All of the ones I added yesterday are not working.

 

[mikeraburn 71]

I am not seeing a folder issue on the individual folders

playing vs non playing

[mikeraburn 71]

It's the individual FILES themselves

To me, it looks like I have to set access permissions to EACH file.

This cannot be correct.

I did set access permissions to ONE file, tested it, and it streamed.....

There might be other options but first need to know the ownership and permissions of the files and directories from the commands in my first post.

 

[mikeraburn 71]

And all the ownership and permissions are set now and it works.

Again, thank you for the translation to plain speak!

I even signed in as another USER and it works.

It really isn't a big deal setting those permissions now that I know that I have to do that.

I set the permissions in one folder an then dropped in a file and it seemed to automatically set them.

maybe..
