Emby Not Detecting TV in New Location

[greshamcooney 1]

Hey,

So I recently tinkered with my server and changed some file paths in order to make it a little more organized.  I know that you can't edit the library location, so afterward, I went to add new tv and movie libraries, but only the movies populated.  Emby does not seem to see any of the 200+ TV shows I have it pointed to.  

I have double checked my container paths and everything is correct.  The movies and tv folders are both in the same subfolder, so the docker container has access to both.  The library itself is the same as it was for the previous emby instance (just in a different location), so it shouldn't be anything with that or its file structure.  I've tried reinstalling Emby altogether, tried alternate Emby containers (the official repo, the beta repo, binhex's, linuxserver, etc.) to no avail.  

I installed an instance of Plex which was able to add all everything properly just to check if it was something with the folder structure, but Plex worked fine.  

I'm truly at a loss.  Any suggestions?

How many libraries have you created and with which paths? 

[greshamcooney 1]

Just two, one for tv and one for movies.  /mnt/user/Gringotts/data/media is media path, with the container path being /mnt. The full media paths are /mnt/usuer/Gringotts/data/media/tv and /mnt/usuer/Gringotts/data/media/movies.  I have it sent to /mnt/movies for films and /mnt/tv for TV with emby.

Server log should show if there are issues.

You need to fix permissions.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/mnt/tv/Black Mirror (2011) {imdb-tt2085059}' is denied.
     ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

@greshamcooneyyes if you can resolve that, then that will likely resolve your issue.

 Thank you!  Somehow, my permissions changed when I changed the file path.  Easy fix thanks to you!
