Problems with libraries over smb

[ISeeTWizard 29]

Hi

I have some libraries for my movies and entering them over a localy mapped drive on my Linux System where the Emby server runs on (loaded over fstab) works well as long as I don't play some 4k movies (some working some not)

When I than instead load as folder the smb path to my NAS where my movies are the movies are playing back correctly without studering every x seconds but for that he can't save the nfo files and images directly in the media folder

So for the one I can write my files and not playback every 4k video and for the other I can playback all movies but can't save the files

2025-05-04 15:22:14.148 Error ProviderManager: Error saving to smb://192.168.178.20/Media/Movies/german/Pacific Rim (2013)/fanart.jpg. Create Handle Failed: Movies\german\Pacific Rim (2013). NTStatus: FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST.
2025-05-04 15:22:14.163 Info HttpClient: GET ....

And for both I'm using the same username and password - I have absolutely no clue where my issue could come from at the moment

Does anyone here has a clue?

I tried loading it as CIFS and even activated NFS on my Synology as a test (found something like that in the forums here

192.168.178.20:/volume1/Media /mnt/Media nfs defaults 0 0

But nothing seems to help

OK - after 4 hours I wanted to gave up but I tested the 4k videos in the browser and here it worked.

So I checked my TV and found out that it was connected to the 2.4GHz Wifi instaed of my 5GHz- now the movies are running normally grmpf

HI, just as a heads up, there are some cases with the 4.8 server where your smb credentials are not being applied. This has been resolved for the upcoming 4.9 server release. Thanks.
