Refresh Metadata Question

[Spyderturbo007 19]

I'm running Emby Server as a docker container on my unRAID server and am having some issues.  

A lot of my movies don't pull any images or NFO data.  I can do it manually, but it's not automatic when I add a file.  I have to browse to the movie and then do the Refresh Metadata -> Replace Images and then it comes right up.  Is there a button or setting I'm missing to do that automatically when a file is added to the library?

Also, if I try and back fill the images by refreshing the metadata on the library and choose "Search for missing metadata" and toggle on "Replace Existing Images", will that leave alone everything that has metadata and images?   I've had to do some manually because they were obscure and I don't want to lose what I've done manually.

Is it safe to post my embyserver.txt file here without exposing anything sensitive?  I did the following and have the file, but I don't know if I should add the file or if something needs redactedd.  

1. Ran "Rotate log file" from the schedule task manager

2.  Add new movie to Movies folder

3. Run "Scan Media Library Folder" from the schedule task manager

4. No images were added

The name of the movie is Disclosure Day

I dug deeper with permissions and I'm seeing the SAB is writing the folder and file with these permissions:

Folder: drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody users
File: -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users

If I manually copy the folder over to the array and the run Emby, I get a permissions error when trying to write the files (NFO, Images, etc).

If I manually create the folder on the array using Windows Explorer and the copy over only the file, Emby can write the NFO, Images, etc into the folder.  But all the files it creates has these permissions:

-rw-r--r-- 1

That matches the .mkv file that was created by SAB, but not the folder that I created where it is drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users

Shouldn't Emby use the file permissions of the folder, which would mean that it should write -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users when it creates the files in the folder with permissions of drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users?

I'm new to Linux permissions, so I might be way off base.
