Change The User Running Emby Server

I am changing the user account running Emby to match my NAS user account. 

systemctl stop emby-server

Edit the emby server  | service

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service

Change the following line:

User=emby

To the new user account: 

User=newuser

Lets now give the user permissions to the Emby folder

chown -R newuser:newuser /var/lib/emby/

Start the emby service now

systemctl start emby-server

Check the emby service status

systemctl status emby-server
