Emby on TrueNas Scale

[tre4b2 2]

Posting here as I could not find a Truenas specific area.

I have recently transitioned my media onto TrueNAS scale which supports Emby out of the box as an App   It runs up easily and I have mapped DataSets to various folders of media that I have then added to libraries.   All of that looks good, however Emby finds no files in the libraries.   Looking in the logs I can see that permission to access the HostPaths seems to be missing though I have checked using SMB that the files can be seen and I have resolved the issues with HostPath checking without overriding the safety setting.

All of the example installs I see online just do the setup I have and it just works.  None mention adding access rights for Emby as an App or anything.  I think this is the issue and I have sought help on the TrueNAS community, but to no avail.  I know this is not an Emby issue but I am hoping somebody here has encountered the same or similar issues and can give me some pointers about how to give Emby access to the HostPath datasets.

And replying to myself as I have now resolved the issue.

Truenas Scale runs the app using a user called "bin".   The resolution was to change the ACLs of the hostpath so that this user could access the files and everything started working perfectly.   Loving having my emby back.
