Using Unraid w Emby Linuxserver.io container. How do I give write access for DVR recording path?

[xrqp 11]

Emby screen: 

I click OK and get this error message "Emby Server requires write access to this folder. Please ensure write access and try again."

Unraid share (called "data" where I store media) is setup like this: 

 Any thoughts how I may fix this.

I changed the share to "Security: Public" and i was able to get past with no error message.  Testing it now. 

But how do I do it with user "bob".  For user bob, the password for windows 10 logon, is the same user name and password as used in the Unraid share, and as used in Emby container.

Hi @xrqp, rather than add an smb path into emby server, I would suggest mounting the smb share to a local path using the tools unraid/docker. Then add the local path into emby server.

Please see if that helps. Thanks !

Luke, I'm guessing when you say "...mounting the smb share to a local path using the tools unraid/docker", I'm guessing it means "setup the path mapping in the container settings, then use that path in the emby server app".  By doing that, it fixed the problem!  Yeah!

It seems with emby i need to do that for every media library path.  I had done it for "movies", and "tv"(for all tv that is not from antenna), but I had not done it for "tv antenna".   Once I added "tv antenna" to the container paths mappings it works good.  And port assignment problems went away too, which (I do not understand).  

With other unraid containers, like sonarr, radarr, etc., I did not have to map so granular.  I just needed to map the one higher directory "data" (used for media, but called data, to copy what Trash's Guide used), and that alone covered the subfolders of "movie", "tv" and "tv antenna".  I am not 100% sure of all of this, but that is how recall it.  I am doing all this as a "public" share.  I may try to secure it to user "bob" but one step at a time.

Thanks for the feedback. Normally just the top level mapping would be fine.
