 I'm having some issues getting Emby set with my FreeNAS box. I've installed the plugins, set the source for the jail to the main folder (which contains subfolders for TV, Movies, etc) and the destination to a new and empty folder, but when I try to add the sources from the web gui, emby cant find them at all. There isn't a great guide online for FreeNAS setup and everyone just says SET YOUR JAILS which I am fairly sure that I've got done correctly.

E: FWIW I figured it out, it helps with things when you have the right number of / tossed in the file path

 So now I am running into a funk issue on my FreeNAS emby install where Emby sees all of my TV shows, in a folder structure like TV/Show Name/Season/Show/File structure, but it doesn't see any of my movies in a folder structure like Movies/Movie Name/file, It is pretty crazy.
I do like the metadata manager so far and the fact that my FireTV Kodi install is picking it up automatically is really sweet.

Is it permissions or it just isn't finding anything? I usually do Movie (Year)\Movie (year).ext and Emby seems to grab everything without issues.

I ran emby off of a windows based desktop pointed to the same folder, just as a networked drive, and it found everything just fine. I'll look at permissions again, it's at least a good start at figuring it out

 I forgot to reply that I ended up figuring it out. Now I have to retag a lot of shows because the TV scraper didn't pull them right due to my naming schemes. At least it is a pretty easy process as opposed to something like Ember Media Manager used to be

Anybody else having issues connecting to Emby servers from the Android app as of late?

I've got it running, open and playing a video on the server PC, and the Android app can also see the server (through the manual server selection, not Emby Connect), but attempting to connect results in a 'we're unable to connect to the selected server right now' message. Both PC and phone are connected to my home WiFi network, and I'm able to browse Emby through Chrome on both machines.

So far I've tried clearing data & un/reinstalling the Android app, to no luck - restarting the Emby server doesn't seem to work either.

I get that but on my FireTV. I can see the updated content but it won't play a drat thing.
