Emby jail not seeing subdirectories

[SteveRS]

First is the issue I am having. I have FreeNAS 11.2-U3 and the Emby plugin 4.0.2.0_1. After updating the FreeNAS and re-installing the Emby plugin, the jail can no longer see subdirectories in the pool at the given mountpoint. For example, I used the pool SharedMedia and mount it at /media in the jail. It should have several subdirectories (Movies, Music, Shorts etc), but they do not show up. I think this might be a permissions issue, but I have not found where to correctly change the permissions. Also, if I open a shell in the jail, the directory /media does exist, but there is nothing under it.

Second, how I got here. Last week the Roku Emby client failed to login, saying that the user or password was incorrect. A few weeks earlier it worked fine. I checked the FreeNAS machine and everything looked good, so I removed the Emby plugin and reinstalled it. The reinstall hung the machine for 30 minutes so I was forced to do a powerdown. After that I noticed that an update from 11.2-U2 to 11.2-U3 was available, so I installed that. I removed the Emby plugin again and reinstalled it and it loaded fine. However, ever since this point I have had the above problem. I also installed the Plex plugin and it has the same problem.

Although I have been running FreeNAS for over a year now, I have not really dug deep into it, so any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated.

If those subdirectories are separate datasets, you would need to mount each one explicitly in the jail.

You are correct. I thought that I had tried that, but I tried it again and it works now. However, I have found another associated issue. I have one dataset named "TV Shows" with a space. When I try to mount it I get the following error when starting the emby service:

Run Time Error
jail: mount.fstab: Shows: not an absolute pathname

I assume that it is having problems with the source dataset having a space in it. I seem to remember that you can give it the space character as a special character, but I don't remember how.

If you create the mount via the cli you can still use spaces in the mount string via the \040 string as a replacement for space. I don't know anyway since the move to iocage from warden to use mounts with spaces in the via the GUI.

According to this: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/37802 bugfix from 8 months ago it should be possible somehow via the GUI but I've only ever gotten it to work via the CLI.
