Home screen empty but still a library?

[sdxbe 0]

Okay I'm not sure what happened but last week all of a sudden I lost everything on my home screen.
I tried removing libraries, adding them again, checking permissions, reinstalling Emby, the whole shabang. Nothing works.

So I come crawling for help

What do I need to do to get this working again. I don't mind starting from scratch, it was a fairly new setup anyway.
I'm just worried I messed with so much settings in my DSM settings and my router settings thinking it was a network issue...

First my library was added with the IP address so it looked like smb://192.168.1.28/Downloads/_2025/TV Series
Now it's added like /volume1/Downloads/_2025/TV Series

Don't know how much difference this makes. Neither way works anyway.

 I attached the last logs for your information.
Also a screenshot of the Library page.

Hi, did you check your Emby user Home Screen settings? Did you check what libraries the user has access to?

Hi Luke, the answer is yes both times. I have full access to all libraries and the home screen settings are default.

I installed Emby server on my desktop PC and that runs just fine.
So I'm not sure what's wrong with my settings on my Synology.

First I would disable portmapper or uninstall the plugin as that is really the only error shown in your logs.

per the three logs

2025-08-06 19:28:38.440 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory with new FileSystemWatcher for /volume1/Downloads/_2025/TV Series for item 1004

2025-08-07 20:17:09.338 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory with new FileSystemWatcher for /volume1/Downloads/_2025/TV Series for item 1004

2025-08-09 14:15:01.971 Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory with new FileSystemWatcher for /volume1/Downloads/_2025/TV Series for item 1449

Was the library removed and readded as the dbid appears to have changed per last log?

Since nothing is showing in any of these logs can you post a log after a library scan.

What do you mean by default? What sections are configured to show?

Yes I might have tried removing the library and adding it again.
I did a library scan and downloaded the log file attached here.

@sdxbeare you still having an issue with this? 

I'm not sure if this will help but are you able to try installing the 4.8.11 update from our website? Thanks.

[sdxbe 0]

Yes still have the issue.
I don't think I can control which version I'm installing in DSM, right?

[Luke 42077]

@sdxbe can you check and see if 4.8.11 is available to you in DSM now? Thanks !

Buenas. 

Instaló el Emby en una Sinología 423+. 

Creo que el problema es tema de permisos. Dentro de la Sinología dale permisos a la alfombra al servicio Emby como Lectura/Escritura y ya lo tienes solucionado.

Una vez des permisos, no solo vas a seleccionar dentro de Emby la unidad, sino también las alfombras que hay dentro. Es ahi cuando te aparecen todas  . Cuando tengas los permisos, entras otra vez a esa unidad y ya puedes poner "Peliculas" , "Series" , etc. Eso me paso a mi, pero he tenido Plex con anterioridad y aprendiz de eso. 

Un saludo

Panel de control > Carpeta cmpartida > Permisos > Selecionas usuario interno del sistema > nombre "emby" y selecionas lectura/escritura 

 

 

Espero que sea eso.
