Connect emby client to mythtv backend12/31/2023 I placed it into the Revenge/Season 04/ folder within /show_names. In this case it was a recording of the latest episode of Revenge. I copied a mythtv recording from my recording drives and placed into the show_names directory. Ideally, I would like Emby to run under the mythtv user so I can still limit permissions and not mess with the directories in which mythtv uses. Do I need more than read permissions to play files? Can I have the mythtv user be the user that mediabrowser runs under? Can Emby resolve and follow symlinks?Īll metadata is being saved to it's own directory in which mediabrowser has full read write and execute permissions. I have added the mediabrowser user to the mythtv group. As these permissions are generated automatically by mythtv the only easy way to grant more open permissions would be to run a cron job or similar to change permissions at given times or system event within mythtv to change permissions when a particular event triggers it. Under both the ownership is mythtv:mythtv. mpg files within the actual recording directories are -rw-r-r. The permissions for the symlinks themselves are rwxr-xr-x. I am not sure if this is a limitation of Emby or a permissions issue. It does see the folders and therefore it pulls metadata for all the shows listed in this directory but it cannot access and play the media. While using Emby, it does not see the media files. I just point Plex to the /show_names directory and it does the rest. The symlinks created in this directory use the Title/Season XX/Title - Sx圎xx - Subtitle.mpg format. These symlinks are created using a userjob in mythtv and placed into their own directory /show_names. To combat this I use a script,, to create symlinks with names in a format that Plex or XBMC for that matter can read and understand. Co-located on this server I use Plex to distribute the media on the server along with media saved on a Thecus nas via nfs shares to roku boxes and a Samsung smart hub tv.Īs anyone who has experience with mythtv knows, the naming convention they use for recordings are not recognized by the various media servers available. I currently have a mythtv backend which I use to record OTA broadcasts.
