Emby Can't Find Media

Hi,

First post here. I'm trying to get the Emby Media server setup but am having some permissions trouble. Here's what I did:
Installed emby-server and started the emby-server.service
Created a folder called "shared" in my home directory with "movies" and "tv" subfolders
Created a group called "media" and added myself and emby users to it
Changed folder permissions for shared recursively to 775
Changed group owner of shared folder to media
Confirmed permissions are drwxrwxr-x, owner is reese/media for shared, movies, and tv
Went to localhost:8096 and began setup wizard
Upon trying to add /home/cattleman/shared/movies I receive the error "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again."

Where am I going wrong here?

Re: Emby Can't Find Media

Did you *restart* the server after adding emby to the media group?

Note, I have no experience with emby, but if you did everything precisely as you described, the server process would not have the new group assignment yet until it is restarted (just like a regular user would need to long in again).

Great idea, but that didn't seem to do the trick unfortunately.
