This path doesn't seems to be valid¶
This path doesn't seems to be valid?
If you're getting a error that looks like this:
This can be for various reasons we've collected the the most common ones depending on the used OS.
Windows¶
-
Bazarr service runs under Local System account that won't be able to access network shares.
Run Bazarr's service as another user that has access to that share. You need to change the account used for Bazarr service in
services.mscconsole. -
You're using a mapped network drive (not a UNC path).
Change your paths to UNC paths (
\\server\share) both in Sonarr, Radarr and Bazarr will be able to access those files.
Docker¶
-
Your docker containers volume paths don't match with Sonarr/Radarr
make sure Bazarr uses the identical volume paths as Sonarr and Radarr.
Docker & Synology when mixing packages with dockers¶
- In worse case scenario you need to make use of Paths Mapping
Note
If you're using docker and get this warning and need help with it provide us with the docker compose or docker build command of Bazarr and Sonarr/Radarr !!!
If you're using a system with a GUI(Synology, unRAID, OMV, etc.) to configure docker use one of the following from terminal(puTTy) to get the docker compose or docker build command.`
sudo docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock red5d/docker-autocompose CONTAINER_NAME
And yes this even works on a Synology if you don't know how you probably didn't read the [Installation-Synology]
