Question about folder permissions

[sugarat 5]

Hi there, 

 

 My Embyserver has recently stopped adding new content into my movie library.  I removed the library folder and added it again, but now nothing is seen by Emby at all. 

 

The embyserver.txt log file says that the Scan media library operation completed after 0 minutes and 0 seconds. 

 

Emby is running in a Docker container on OpenMediaVault.  I have confirmed that the container has full access to the directory where the content is locted. In this instance, it is mounted under /mnt/media in the container, and emby has full write access to it.   

 

Log file attached.  Many thanks!!

 

** Update **

 

I have attempted to remove Docker from the equation and have installed the latest Debian package of Emby, running naked on OpenMediaVault.  I am seeing the same behaviour. When I browse to the directory, it instantly says scan completed in 0 minutes, 0 seconds, and no movies are listed:

The folders and files were visible in Emby when I added the path to the Library.

I just realised that the end of the above post is badly worded. I still have the issue.

I have now resolved this issue.  Even though the permissions on the containing directory were correct, forcing a chmod 777 on the it has allowed Emby to index the subfolders.  Weird.
