Emby permissions

przemko · 8 December 2020 21:20

Hello, I have another problem today
I mess up with my Dietpi [Rpi4] and install on new sd-card. I copy from old sd-card folders /var/lib/emby/ and /opt/emby-server. I have permissions problems in my Ubuntu laptop so I copy as root. Now when I install Emby server I have some issues with it. I can download with transmission but Emby don’t change name and don’t download meta and subs. I have mess with permissions and I don’t know what should be right.
Can someone help me with that?

Hi

I’m not using Emby myself but I guess you would need to give write permission to the user group. Otherwise other tools are not able to access them. As well you have a user/group 123, means the user is not existing.

chmod -R 664 /mnt/folder
chown -R emby:dietpi /mnt/folder

Hi Joulinar thank You very much that You still have patience for me
I add emby user to dietpi group. I set everything for dietpi user and group [my Video and Series folders and files] but that doesn’t help. I have strange situation here: my transmission can download movies and series snatched from Medusa and Couchpotato. For series Emby download posters and metadata but for movies not, Emby also don’t change title for movies (shows full file name like Matrix_WEB-DL.x264[rarbg].mp4). I can play movies but cannot pay many series that works perfect before. When I try to download poster I search and I see nice poster but when I clik on it I see broken image icon and nothing happen when I download.
Also strange is I cannot play some series but I can play movies. I see in emby logs that it’s missing some codecs. Maybe it’s because I copy emby folders to new installation. I reinstall emby two times but doesn’t help.

Now It’s like that:

the idea was to change all files and folders you are using for your movies to be owned by emby user and dietpi group. As well to change permission for user and group to r/w (664). /mnt/folder is something to be replaced with the main folder for your downloads.

OK, thank You. I will do that. Can You also tell me my problems with downloading posters for Emby may be because of those root permissions in /var/lib/emby folder? I cannot play some series and cannot find and download posters.

dietpi@DietPi:/var/lib/emby$ ls -l
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 16 emby dietpi  4096 Dec  8 07:47 cache

do I need to change those folders also from root to emby:dietpi?

Regards.

As I said I don’t use emby myself. Do you know where emby is trying to store the poster? If this a folder that can be changed within emby configuration? Do you have an error message?

OK, I think that root in /var/lib/emby was problem and also I have strange situation in my ubuntu laptop. I have HDD mounted as nfs share from Dietpi there and I have permissions to /mnt/nas/Video as user= systemd-coredump, group= przemek for everything in this folder. I change those also.
Now I see posters and names are getting normal when scanned and I can play series with wright codec.
Thank You very much for Your time and help.
Regards,
Przemek
