Pop_os (Ubuntu Clone) server not finding movies on my Synology NAS


Recommended Posts

Emby Server

Pop_os 22.04 LTS
    It is a Ubuntu clone made by System76

NAS

Synology 1522+ with NFS enabled

Problem

When I run "Scan Library Files", it does not find any of the movies, tv shows, etc.

What I have done to fix thie issue

  1. I have properly setup NFS mounting and can see the files if I go to /mnt/media/movies in the terminal.
  2. I have setup permissions on the shared folders as "Read/Write" for all of the users.

Why this is happening now

This all worked great until about 6 months ago when I purchased and installed a new router.  The new router changed the IP addresses from xxx.xxx.1.x to xxx.xxx.50.x.  The NAS is now on xxx.xxx.50.x so I had to re-hookup everything.  Emby is the last thing I have and have not been able to get it working properly since then.

Thank You,

Ok, forget this, I found out the I just need to re-add the directories and it works.

Hi, where did you re add the directories to? Do you mean Emby library setup?

Posted

Yes, apparently when the IP Address changes, emby doesn't remember where the movies are.  I just deleted the address of all of my directories and re-added them.

What IP address are you referring to?

The ones of my NAS. They were xxx.xxx.1.xxx and they changed to xxx.xxx.50.xxx.

Is the ip address part of the folder path in emby library setup?

No, but it is in the fstab file mounting file.

OK thanks for the info. We'll take a look.
