Error in metadata saver

[cappapp 7]

Have an issue with metadata with media on a 2nd Unraid server.

Emby can detect and play the media,
but when I refresh metadata I get this error below;

These are the permissions setup on that share;

Does this topic help?

File Permissions Guide for New Linux Users

No. I did check it out already.

But looks like all permissions are enabled for this shared.

I can also create a directory using terminal in emby docker;

And Sonarr also points to that same path to the 2nd server from the same server Emby is on and seems to have no issue.

Can I tell emby to create some other file manually that's not meta data?

Cheers

What type of filesystem is /mnt/remotes/192.168.0.8_Media?

[cappapp 7]

Both Unraid servers are xfs.

[Q-Droid 989]

Are these NFS of SMB shares?

For NFS it helps to match UIDs/GIDs between between server and client for the users/groups using the shares. Then ownership looks consistent and easier to manage permissions.

For SMB there are cifs mount options needed to work around some .Net permissions errors for certain file/directory operations.

Example here:

Ah OK. I can potentially see my issue then.

I think the Unassigned Devices plugin on Unraid has them mapped as SMB.
But I think I can recreate it as NFS instead.

Thanks. I have something to try after work.
Will update after testing.

I couldn't wait... Remoted in and created the new NFS map in Unraid and Updated the path in the Docker and replaced the location in Emby library.

Looks like meta data is updating now

Thanks heaps.
