emby user not added to group with access to video folder

[TysonNW 0]

I have a fresh install of Emby 4.7.14 on a DSM 7.1.1. When I try and set up the folders it should be looking in it cannot access anything beyond volume1. So not my video folder or any of its sub folders. I think it is a problem of permissions.I cannot see the emby user through the web interface's users/groups tool. So SSH it is.

I have two groups with permissions to access the video folder on my synology nas video and users. I can see it when I ssh into the server in my

/etc/passwd file.

so the user exists and when I id it, it I get 

uid=240699(emby) gid=240699(emby) groups=240699(emby),999(synopkgs),937(videodriver)

I am thinking that at this point, I need to make emby a part of one of those two groups. But I am unsure how. Or add the permissions of the groups it is a member of to the video's folder. I am unsure of which I need to do.

Hi, have you taken a look at this?

Also, why 4.7.14 and not a newer version?

Welp, that was useless. There are no instructions on setting up permissions in Synology in the Tutorials and Guides. 

Eventually I found the answer in https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Software/DeveloperGuide/Firmware/DSM/All/enu/Synology_DiskStation_Administration_CLI_Guide.pdf

I had to use 

sudo synoshare --setuser video RW + emby

To add the RW permissions for the video share to the emby account.

The system users drop down is not an option in 4.7.14 and that is the most recent version my diskstation supports.

What do you mean exactly? That is a synology option, not an Emby option. It should be the same for both.
