I installed Emby Media server and I need to grant permissions to access the “Music” and “Videos” folders located inside the “Home” folder, in the library setup appears this message:
“For Linux on Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse, or Ubuntu, you must grant the Emby system user at least read access to your storage locations”
@florian, I did chmod -R g+r ~/Music but replaced Music by Música since that’s the name of the folder but when I go to emby and click on the home folder that appears here the menu disappears:
In order to read the file list of a directory, you also need to grant the execute permission on it. You can use x to add it always, or use X to add it for directories only (useful for recursive application), i.e.,
chmod -R g+rX ~/Música
will add executable permission to Música and all directories below it, but not to any of the files.
