not able to select folder when adding library synology ds213j

[Serg_Homer 1]

I have installed emby in a Synolody DS720+ with DSM 7.2 and everything went super smooth.

Then I tried the same process in a Synology DS213j with DSM 7.1. I installed the emby version existing in the app store (4.7.14), and then updated manually to the latest stable version 4.8.10 for legacy devices.

My problem is that I am not able to open/expand the folder /volume1/video and therefore not able to select a specific folder I would like to select. 

This is the error log:

Now you are thinking is the standard user access issues that I forgot to grant the user "emby" the read/write access for the folder /volume1/video as system internal user... but I did, I even remove the access and grant it again. I restarted the service and I have also even restarted the NAS having the same result.

In addition, interesting enough, is that I can expand other folders like /volume1/web or /volume1/music without granting the same read/write permissions for these folders.

 

Any idea how I may solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

I SOLVED the issue. I connected to the NAS using SSH, I checked the poermissions with "ls -la" and I dont know why but permissions where different for folder /volume1/music than for /volume1/video, so I used this command:

sudo synoacltool -copy /volume1/music /volume1/video

With this I copied the permissions from folder /volume1/music in to /colume1/video. After that it worked.
