Help with Windows Service

After my server upgrade, the transcoding fails every time when playing a movie. 

Reading the transcoding log always ends with file:\\192.168.1.8\movie name.mkv: Invalid argument

attached are server & transcode log

No, i think your system is just having issues in general. I think the actual problem is that ffmpeg can't access the file path. Notice there are internal emby server functions that are also unable to access them:

The directory name \\192.168.1.8\kinder\disney is invalid.
	System.ArgumentException
	   at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher..ctor(String path, String filter)
	   at MediaBrowser.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor.<>c__DisplayClassf.<StartWatchingPath>b__e()

That error means the operating system is throwing errors when trying to access that path.

Strange,  can browse to the share without any problems, also theres a drive mapping made, that also doens't give issues.

manually entering the ffmpeg command starts the transcoding without a problem.

could it be that emby is running as a service which has no access to the NAS?

you're running the server as a service, so you need to look at the account that the service runs under. or just keep it simple and use the tray icon instead

Yep log on as a service rights granted to the user, 

Tray icon is not really an option, because the server has weekly reboots and doesn't login automatically

I found a fix for automatically start server with tray Icon. I found a link to fix the problem that worked for me https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/18237/fixed-windows-10-automatic-startup-issue just change "Emby Server" for " pia_manager" the server now starts in windows 10 every time
