Hi,

 

i'm trying to change the default location of the IBN folder by changing the path name in dashboard-library-advanced.

 

i can browse to the path but when i click save i just get the spinning red/yellow/green/blue circle and it never saves. 

 

any ideas?

Hi, it seems to be fine in my testing here. What browser are you running and what is your emby server version?

Hi,

 

it was 5986 and now is 6040 and it still does the same thing. browser is chrome on win7pro 32bit.

 

Upgrade from 5986 to 6040 was the usual mess /failure/manual upload pbi/serveral hours rescan library again - so something's bust with my setup - I'm guessing that's what causing the path update failure too.

Hi, I apologize although I cannot reproduce the problem. If the issue persists, please provide an emby server log:

Thanks.

 

Hey Luke,

 

no need to apologise, not your fault; bound to be some misstep on my part due to lack of experience/frustration.

Logs attached cover the period of trying to change the IBN path and upgrading the PBI .

cheers

argh had a mare tonight, messed my emby install.

 

So had to swap a disc out.

 

So I reinstalled emby. My jails were the same as the media server drive wasn't touched.

 

I add folders to where the files are but nothing is appearing, I am thinking is path substitution thats the issue here, I had trouble with this the first time I installed ages ago, so I have forgotten.

 

path to the server /mnt/nasmediaserver

 

on the windows share is z:\freenas  I cannot select this as the folder in the library section

 

Jail storage

 

source - /mnt/nasmediaserver/Movies

destination - /media/Movies

 

When I goto metadata is shows the path is "/var/db/emby-server/root/default/Movies" which doesn't look right

 

So what do I need to put in here?

 

Add Substitution

From:
Example: D:\Movies (on the server)
To:
Example: \\MyServer\Movies (a path clients can access)

Your metadata path looks fine to me; unless you want to store your metadata with your media files?

 

What program needs the substitution? I know Kodi  knows what to do with paths like "cifs://" but I'm not sure about other programs.

 

I assume your samba share name is Movies? In that case I believe your path substitution should be

From: /media/Movies

To: cifs://freenas/Movies

or possibly..

To: \\freenas\Movies

I don't have near the expertise on these matters but i thought i'd throw in a couple of comments.

 

First, I have Emby plugin in FreeNAS and all media stored in FreeNAS, and i do not have any path subs in Emby defined.  I direct stream all the time so don't think this is an issue for me.

 

Second, here is what i see in my metadata so something definitely off with your setup.

 

/media/Movies/The 5th Wave (2016)/The 5th Wave (2016).mkv

 

Here is how the Emby Jail storage is setup (Prime is my primary dataset):

 

Source: /mnt/Prime/media

Destination: /media

I updated the Emby FreeNAS plugin to latest available version (3.0.7200) and now I have no more sound/audio on my MacBook Pro when using Live-TV Channels and transcoding!?

 

I tested same on a Chromebook and audio is fine there.

 

Any idea what might have changed???

I tried and played a bit more and can just confirm no Live TV channel does provide audio so seems something goes wrong during encoding.

 

Having said this issue is just on my MacBook Pro running El Captain 10.11.6 and worked for my previous FreeNAS Emby versions very well and still does work on my Chromebook.

I have also have a mac osx for testing that is also on El Captain and I don't see this issue.  Audio with live tv is working as expected. We have been working heavily on live tv for the next server release so I would suggest trying again with the next release, thanks.

Jesus.... I have found the issue and I am so sorry...

 

I connected my MacBook today to my docking station with external speaker and audio worked!

 

So disconnected from Docking Station and audio was gone... Checked my MacBooks sound preferences and the output audio was set to "Air Parrot" which I rarely use for streaming... Obviously the App has changed the default settings and after setting back to "internal speakers" it works! Sorry again...

 

Good thing now is that I rechecked all Live TV settings and enabled Picon support and works like a charm!

No problem, thanks for reporting back !

Hello,

I updated my FreeNAS plugin to 3.0.7200 last night and now Emby is having multiple problems. First of all it shows that I have not watched MANY shows. For example, Ray Donovan is now showing I have not watched all of the first three seasons (12 episodes each). However, the fact is I have deleted the first three seasons from the server to make space (some time ago). Why is Emby not removing these seasons from the library now?  Also, Emby is showing that I have a new episode of The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1. This episode does not exist on my server. This episode has not even aired yet. Therefore, when I click on it, obviously it does not give me the option to play it. Please advise me how to proceed. Thank you for the awesome plugin by the way, usually it works flawlessly and I appreciate all your efforts.

Hi, sorry to hear about this. How long had it been since you updated?

Hi all

 

I can't update from FreeNas web interface, and I have 3.0.6400 version

 

From version 3.0.6070 to 3.0.6400 was without anything problem

 

Any suggestions how to update?

 

Thanks

Stop jail.... click update.... wait 20 to 30 minutes and it should be done.... if it doesnt work maybe make sure you have latest version of freenas... if it still doesnt work there is a manual way of doing it
