I cant create/upload a library. The songs are in the pc in wich i wish to lissen.

 

sorry for the print is in portuguese, But a i dont know how to give permision to Emby to read the directory where the songs are.

 

I am using BigLinux, a distro based on Majaro.

Hi, what exactly happens when you try?

I follow the steps

 

1. installation

2. On the firefox webbrowser access the address: http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/home

3. Go to gear on top right (maybe some words are no exactly as spected, since i am translated from portuguese)

4. Library

5. + new library

6. Select music as content on the first dialog box

7. + add directory

8. Enter with directory address

 

 

9. OK, them appear the message

You can create the directory and file if the path doesn't already exist.

ok, i have created the directory emby-server.service.d and the file write-permissions.conf on the path:

 

i wrote the commands with the path of my music

[Service]
SupplementaryGroups=media
ReadWritePaths=/home/user/mylibrary
UMask=0002

 

reestart the pc. But i yet could not creat a new library, the message is the same as before:

 

more suggestions?

Now that you have removed the restrictions you still have to make sure that path has the permissions needed for user emby or group media to navigate and reach "mylibrary".

The emby user needs to be able to access /home, /home/user and /home/user/mylibrary. For directories r-x is enough at group or other. To rely on group would need to have the right ownership, in this case media. 

If you want emby to create, modify or delete then you have to make sure it has permissions to do so.
