How to access personal media folders from fancybits docker container on Synology

[RoboDad]

I am running the DVR from the fancybits container to allow my YTTV TVE to work, and that is working fine. But I have my personal media in a shared folder under /volume1, and Channels can't see that folder.

What do I need to do to allow access to it from the container?

If you installed the Channels DVR Synology package,
Add permissions to that shared folder so the Channels DVR user can access it.

Updated to DSM 7 and Channels for DSM 7 Beta Movies do not import

Hello everyone and thank you for the help. Volume1/Movies is the folder i am trying to import movies from. I also upgraded over the DSM 6 package. Here is the setting I missed and how to get to it in three steps. [image] Then I edited the SYSTEM INTERNAL USERS. [image] Here is the setting that enabled Channels to see my Movies folder.

If you're running Channels DVR in a docker container, you need to map a volume for that shared folder into the container, since Channels DVR can only see directories inside the container.

Thanks. I'm still new to docker, so the folder mapping wasn't jumping out at me as the issue. After mapping the folder it showed up in the container. It's working now.

I have a Movies directory on an old NAS that I copied into the Movies directory of CDVR. Channels does not like that and it can’t see the new uploads I’ve made to that folder. I want to move them to their own share like before, but how do I get the Channels Docker to “see” that share? It only wants to see what’s in its own channel…
