Once it is stopped, you can click on the Mount Points option and select where your media is saved.After that is done, start the Emby jail. Log into the Emby :8096 and go the server setting. You should see a option on the left called Library. Once in the Library click on Add Media Library. Select the type of media the Library will contain, a display name if you want the library to be something different and then the plus sign next to Folders. You should see your options there.

Somehow the mounting point seems to block the target filesystem location (/mnt/pool/iocage/jails/emby/root/media) from beeing used as part of a path to an emby library. #8 okay - sounds like it might be a permissions issue on the dataset.

2025-04-16#1 Hey there!Is there a way to host a DLNA server in TrueNAS* without using the PLEX plugin? The plugin minidlna seems to be end of life, so I wonder if there is a more recent alternative.Thank you very much! :)Fred*I'm using TrueNAS-12.0-BETA2.1 Last edited: Aug 30, 2020 #2 I'm not on the TrueNAS 12 train yet. However, if the Emby plug-in is available, you can use that for DLNA streaming. I'm using Emby for my DLNA serving without issues in FN 11. #3 All right. I installed emby but I am too incompetent to create a mount point without the destination folder disappearing as potetial media library target, so... Emby is like PLEX I guess? I think, that's a bit over the top, I basically really just need a connection to my TV, no fancy title downloading or sharing via an external online account... xP #5 That's the tutorial I followed. Problem is, that the destination folder of an active mount completely disappears from the emby interface.Example: The mount point from to /mnt/.../iocage/jails/emby/root/media results in the media folder to be gone in the emby interface. If I use the mnt folder as mount point destination instead, I can see the media folder but the mnt folder is gone. #6 Okay, here's my setup:My music are located in /mnt/Pool_1/Music. Pool_1 is one of my ZFS pools and Music is one of my datasets (also an SMB share so I can upload movie to it).The jail that Emby is hosted has
2025-04-02Things to Note: 📌 Emby does not support physical discs. 📌 However, it can recognize DVD structure and has basic support for ISO format. 📌 For the best possible experience, the Emby team suggests ripping DVDs to MKV. 📌 Unfortunately, Emby cannot present DVD menus. For many media enthusiasts, Emby serves as a fantastic hub to organize and stream your favorite movies and TV shows. You may wonder if it’s possible to stream your DVDs via Emby.

2025-04-06Jd1940 Offline Posts: 346 Threads: 64 Joined: Sep 2010 I tried to get an answer to this on the Emby forum but have had no luck. When I edit an m3u channel listing to remove unwanted channels in NPVR, is there a way I can move that listing to Emby Live TV? I get an xml file when exporting from NPVR but I don't know how to get that into Live TV. I switched to Beast iptv a short time ago and it has a ton of channels I have no interest in. Since Live TV has almost no editing ability I'm trying to accomplish what I want in NPVR. sub Offline Administrator NextPVR HQ, New Zealand Posts: 106,483 Threads: 767 Joined: Nov 2003 In NextPVR you can just delete any channels you don't want. When Emby makes the api call to NextPVR to ask for the list of channels, it'll get the current list of channels. (ie, deleted channels will be gone from that list).I have no idea how often Emby will ask NextPVR for the list of channels though. mvallevand Offline Posting Freak Ontario Canada Posts: 52,264 Threads: 952 Joined: May 2006 If you are using Emby Live TV with the m3u as a source with NextPVR as they call it a "dumb tuner" how you import or update the m3u is an Emby question.Martin mvallevand Offline Posting Freak Ontario Canada Posts: 52,264 Threads: 952 Joined: May 2006 Also If you are using NextPVR in dumb tuner mode, it makes no sense to even add the IPTV channels to NextPVR since you simply are doubling the load on the server and you take away NextPVR's control of tuners and recordings in standalone mode. If you want to continue to use NextPVR as a backend, your better option would be to use the NextPVR plugin.Martin
2025-04-03Just inserted and click OK to load the DVD. After loading, the main title of the DVD will be automatically detected and highlighted in blue. If you want to save other features or extras, you need to manually select them. 💡 Tip: If the DVD fails to import, try to enable Enhanced Decryption for safe and smooth ripping. Note that the process may take longer. Step 2: Choose the Output Format Click on the format image on the right to open the output format library. Under the Video tab, select MKV as the output format. MKV is recommended by the Emby team because it’s versatile and of high quality. However, you can choose a different format you desire, such as MP4 if you want universal compatibility. If you have limited storage, you can use H265 for MP4 or H265 for MKV for better compression efficiency. That said, if you want to preserve the original DVD quality and content, you can try the 1:1 Quick Copy to copy your DVD to ISO or DVD Folder. Optional: Edit Output Settings If you have specific conversion needs, you can open the Settings menu in the lower right corner and adjust the video and audio parameters as needed. For example, you can choose H264 for video encoder and AAC for audio to achieve the best compatibility. However, if you’re not familiar with these settings, you can just leave the program smart-fit settings based on the selected profile. Step 3: Start Conversion Click the three-dot icon at the bottom of the interface to select a destination folder for your output file and make sure it has ample free space. You can see the estimated output file size in the conversion list. Finally, click Run to begin the ripping process. With hardware acceleration enabled, a typical 2-hour DVD can be converted in about 5 minutes. 💡 Tip: Before conversion, you can adjust the audio and subtitle tracks. If you select MKV as the output format, you can keep multiple or all the audio and subtitle tracks. You can also click the Edit button to edit the DVD if desired. Step 4: Import the DVD Movie into Emby After conversion, rename the ripped file by the name convention of Emby and place it into the corresponding Movies or TV folders for your Emby library. If you have enabled real-time monitoring, the Emby server should detect the changes and index the files you just added to the Emby library. Otherwise, you need to enter the Emby dashboard, click the three-dot icon of the Movie or TV folder and select Scan Library Files to manually add the new file. Now the last step, just test the video on Emby
