Unable to add library path on Fedora 24

[elonden 0]

Hello,

 

Thought I ramp up a seemingly old article which I haven't been able to resolve not have found any clues how other fixed it.

 

My home folder has a directory called "movies" (Without the quotes). The full path is /home/erwin/movies and is world read accessible. For some reason emby is not able to grasp this and simply refuses it to add and scan.

 

Snippet of the log shows some weird stuff:

The emby user is also member of my home group so it should be able to traverse that path easily.

 

 

/etc/group:

erwin:x:1000:emby

 

folder permissions:

drwxrw-r--.  85 erwin erwin      4096 Sep  5 16:29 movies

 

This is the latest beta version installed from the Suse repo

 

=========================

For Fedora 24 run the following as root:

dnf config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:emby/Fedora_24/home:emby.repodnf install emby-server-beta

========================

 

The server itself runs fine and I can access the webconsole without a problem.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks.

You have the wrong permissions setup:

drwxrw-r--.  85 erwin erwin      4096 Sep  5 16:29 movies

Read permissions are not enough in Linux to access a directory. You should add execute permissions too.

 

This command should do the trick for you

$ chown 755 /home/erwin/movies

Cheers.

Hmm no juice:

But it does exist:

 

[1859][erwin@monster:~/movies]$ pwd
/home/erwin/movies

 

With 755 permissions down the three:

drwxr-xr-x.  85 erwin erwin      4096 Sep  5 18:05 movies

Weird. Is movies a mount of a different volume (external usb drive for example)?

No, is just a simple folder in my home directory. The logs do show a "." after the folder name which emby tries to access:

	The specified path does not exist: /home/erwin/Music. 

It does this the same with any folder I try to add irrespective of location in my home folder.

Figured it out. This volume had extended attributes and ACL's active. Given it was a subfolder in my homefolder there was a restrictive mask active. By adjusting the acl and adding the emby user to the folder it was sorted.

 

Will change that btw due to security concerns.
