Fell at first hurdle. (DS220, DSM7.01) Application version: 4.6.4.0

Aop fails to find any media, despite feeding the server a large collection of FLAC audio.      It appears to be a permissions issue.

Did you set System internal users on your shares?

Thanks, that seems to have fixed it.   Is it necessary to give read/write permission?  I prefer to only grant read permission.

Not a Synology user but I would guess it depends on what Emby Library settings you use.

I believe you can just use Read but then you can't write NFO files or store images with media.  So if you make any meta-data changes, re-identify  bad matched move/show or anything like that you would loose those changes if you ever had to reload a library.

Saving the NFO and having all the graphics stored with the media can make a library reload much faster.

Choice is yours of course.

Based on default settings, granting read-only permissions is fine. As the others have said, it just depends on what features you enable in the server.

I have set a different metadata folder that has read write and left the media readonly.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.
