Unable to read for shared folders


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
Hello to everybody. Emby runs on the Ubuntu virtual server. Where can I see and I have access to my main server. I have the next one. But in Emby I set them manually and I can not access them from Emby. Will anyone advise how to do it? I have it available on media / sf_Video and the other on media / sf_Foto

Thanks

Hi, what do you mean exactly by can not access them from Emby? What happens?

Posted (edited)

Emby runs on virtual server in Virtualbox, a new installation. I have shared folders that are available in Ubuntu. Emby can not. Why? What should I do to make it happen.

Have you made sure that emby server has read access to these folders?

He probably does not have that, and I do not know how to do it.

Adding the emby user to the group that has access to the media folder works.

$ sudo usermod -a -G unix_user emby

Reboot or restart emby-server.

 

 

EDIT: Sorry - this is not the right solution. Folders with permissions 755 won't be accessible by emby obviously. I reinstalled emby, and it clearly asks during installation what user to run it with. However, it still runs as user emby after installation. 

 

Additionally chmoding media folder to 775 should fix this, but only as a workaround.

So it did not help :-(

Ubuntu is OK, but Emby is not.

Where exactly are you having trouble?

Emby runs on virtual Ubuntu. Photos and videos are stored on the home server where they are shared into Virtualbox. As a user in Ubuntu, I can use the photo and video folders. I'm in Ubuntu in the vboxsf group as well as in the emby group. However, I can not get to shared folders from emba. I am sorry for my English. I can not, I use a compiler.

Who has ownership of the folders?  What is the output of ls -l on the folder(s) you're trying to access?

Owner is root and group vboxsf

Owner is root and group vboxsf

And emby is in the vboxsf group?  You mentioned you are in both the vboxsf and emby groups, but emby is the user and need to belong to a group w/ access to the folders.

emby is a user? I did not know. The one in the vboxsf group is definitely not. How do I get him there?

who is the user running emby server?  whoever that is needs to be in the group w/ access to the folder.  ps aux | grep emby

I've got it. :-) I have added the emby user to the vboxsf group and it's already done.

Thank you very much !
