knoorda Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I was having issues deleting items so I ran the New Permissions utility. The Error I got said I didn't have permission. Currently running 6.3.5. I was able to remove the old data that was giving me problems but now EMBY is broke. It will power on, I can browse to the interface on both a PC and tablet but when I click on a movie to play it just spins and no content is ever provided. Any ideas? Is there a way to un-run the permissions utility? Help??? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 This wont help you now, but for future reference to everyone else ... This is why you should have used CommunityApplication's Docker-safe New Permissions instead. Quote Link to comment

CHBMB Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 There's no way to un-run the utility, to be honest, looking at permissions for Emby I'd be surprised if it did break it. I'd actually take a look at the Emby logs if I were you. All we currently know is it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment

I have CA installed but the only thing I see for new permissions is in tools-->UnRAID OS-->New Permissions EDIT: Did you mean the "Fix Common Problems" CA Plugin and the Extended Test?

Tools > UnRAID OS > "Docker Safe New Perms". It's somehow related to CA, not sure on which plugin provides it but it's associated with CA. Quote Link to comment
knoorda Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Never figured it out. Just completely deleted the docker and reinstalled. Quote Link to comment

I'd actually take a look at the Emby logs if I were you. So I was having an issue with my Emby app (for AFTV) as well as web playback. I can't be 100% certain but I believe the root cause was the New Permissions utility changing the attributes of two files. I ran the utility on my cache disk because one of my dockers assigned attributes that wouldn't allow me to copy the file from the cache to the server manually from a Windows VM. Basically, I think it removed the executable attribute from ffmpeg and ffprobe (i.e. from -rwxrwxrwx to -rw-rw-rw-). Once I did a chmod 777 ff* to these two files, Emby started working again. What made the matter most confusing is I wasn't having any issue with Kodi playback using the Emby addon. I presume this is because Kodi has its own playback engine and wasn't relying on the ffmpeg install from Emby but I could be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sounds like a very logical explanation. Nice work. Advice still stands not to blindly change perms on appdata. Quote Link to comment

If you are using dockers then you should use the 'Docker Safe New Perms' version as it version leaves the appdata share alone. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I got that now. Problem is I didn't know about it beforehand. Would be nice if there was a toggle in the built-in permissions script but I realize it was really meant for one-time use.
