Can't install custom plugin, getting error

[strict20 2]

Hi, i am trying to install ADMv2.dll, which I copied to my synology via SSH, located in

• /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins
• /volume1/Emby/plugins
  (was not sure which one is correct)
   

But it does not show up in plugins after restart. Checked the log, can someone help me what to do?Thanks!

Yes there are two locations the default shipped server plugins /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/system/plugins and the program/plugins folder /var/packages/EmbyServer/var/plugins (ie /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins).

Emby Server Data Folder | Emby Documentation

Users can technically use either as startup pushes system shipped to programdata/plugins.  But users should be placing in programdata/plugins.

 

But Synology is notorious for permission issues, so you need to correct the dll permission anytime you place one in the folder.

OT: You need to do the iNotify fix also.

The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required

@Happy2PlayThank you for your answer - problem was solved. Thanls also for mentioning the problem with iNotify, created the triggered task as well.

Seems like this is a similar issue to what I am experiencing trying to get ComSkipper.dll working on my Synology (non-docker) install of Emby.  Sorry if this is considered hijacking this thread, just racking my brains trying to figure out why it won't work (and yes, I finally figured out how to restart Emby from within the web settings).

I implemented the RTX fix, not sure if that was impacting the .dll issue for me, but it was part of the above solution so trying everything including the kitchen sink.

Hi, my problem was solves after I ssh´ed into my synology and gave the right permissions directly to the plugin. Then restarted. Don`t know about the comskip plugin. I just looked at your treat, it seems it is not the permissions tith your install, right?

[Jator 10]

Which permission did you give your particular plugin?  I mirrored permission of al the other plugins through ssh, but curious what yours is set to.
