How do I get a folder off of my cloud to add to emby library

 

Hi there, can you mount it as a local drive? Then add that local drive into emby.

Emby server on windows won't let you add network share if server runs as service. Is it possible to resolve that?

[pwhodges 2012]

Specify a user login for the service.

Do you know that works or guessing? For me, it's not working

Before I retired I was a network administrator for a couple of decades...

There are many articles on the web that talk about this, e.g.: https://www.pdfblog.at/2011/06/windows-service-access-to-network-resources-what-to-consider/ or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13268559/network-access-to-windows-service.  Note there are some details to get right.

Note in particular that @Luke's advice doesn't apply to a service - a service cannot use a mapped drive letter, but requires the UNC path.

Oh, silly me. Ofcourse URI. Thanks, works!

On Windows I don't recommend using mapped drives anyway, service or not. Windows will disconnect them when idle and that will prevent Emby from being able to use them.

Hay muchos artículos en la web que hablan de esto, por ejemplo:  https://www.pdfblog.at/2011/06/windows-service-access-to-network-resources-what-to-consider/ o  https:/ /stackoverflow.com/questions/13268559/network-access-to-windows-service . Tenga en cuenta que hay algunos detalles para hacerlo bien.

Nótese en particular que@LucasEl consejo de no se aplica a un servicio: un servicio no puede usar una letra de unidad asignada, sino que requiere la ruta UNC.

Gracias, tambien funciono para mi.
