Moved Server from Mac to Docker - Personal Media not found

[benyzboy]

I've been running Channels DVR on Mac for years. I've recently purchased a NAS (HL15 running TrueNAS) and am now running Channels DVR via Docker Compose. I restored my database and while things look good in the UI on the AppleTV I am having issues with playing back content from my Personal Media sources. For example, when I attempt to playback a Bluey episode, I get this error:

[ERR] Recording 10624 (TV/Bluey/Season 3/S03E50 Surprise.mpg) missing: stat /Users/me/Movies/Channels DVR Local Content/TV/Bluey/Season 3/S03E50 Surprise.mpg: no such file or directory

The file no longer lives at that location on my Mac, but rather is now on my NAS. The path I created on my NAS is:
/DVR/Users/me/Movies/Channels DVR Local Content/TV/Bluey/Season 3/S03E50 Surprise.mpg

Clearly I'm doing something wrong in terms of recreating the appropriate file path. Can anyone help me understand how I need to adjust the file path so Channels can see the file?

Also, feature request would be the ability to "reconnect files" where files that are no longer found have a "reconnect files" button that present a file browser to the user so they can point to the new file location.

Did you create a logical link to:
/DVR/Users/me/Movies/Channels DVR Local Content

Did you provide the user running the dicer RW access to the folder?

Possibly rather than using logical links, you might want to use a SMB share. Set up the share for
/DVR/Users/me/Movies/Channels DVR Local Content
Then point to the SMB share something like
//TrueNAS/ShareName/TV

Again, rights matter and you will need to provide the user running the docker with RW access to the folder

The logical links worked for me in this instance. I'm newer to Docker and I misunderstood the container path. I thought I had to keep the beginning of the path as /channels-dvr ...after a while it hit me like a ton of bricks what you were getting at about the logical link and I mapped my host path to the original path my old server was referencing in the container. Grateful for your help!
