Freshly Installed Emby Server on Synology NAS does not scan libraries

[mariner69 1]

Hello everyone... I've searched and found several similar topics.. I followed each direction it appeared to fit my case but no success, that's why this new topic. As per title I installed Emby server on Synology NAS using latest emby docker image. In the compose file I managed to set all the folders with different medias. Install was flawless and initial set up as well. In the library section of Emby I found all the files expected and I successfully pointed the server to them but.... when I hit scan libraries, nothing happens... nothing at all and no media appears in any of the sections. I tried deleting them all and re adding only one but again no success... I'm convinced that good software developers must be supported and that's why I went for the lifetime fee, but hey, free alternatives out there work immediately and without a glitch! Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks

HI there, please try running a library scan. Then attach the emby server log:

Thanks.

Hi Luke. I tried a workaround installing the package from package center via manual install. The package scanned the libraries as expected

and it’s all fine now. However the docker install problem remains and I believe it is due to the fact that permissions to the library folders could not be assigned as Emby was not seen as a system user. The package version does offer this possibility. Needless to say that the docker container was uninstalled and the log is not available anymore I’m afraid
