Deathsquirrel 741 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 When the library scan completes this data should be collected. If it's not populated then either the scan isn't completed or your library may not be set up correctly. I'd start with making sure that my movies were organized correctly and getting recognized at the end of the library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skank 81 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 On my unraid i have this for movies: \movies\Kids 3D\Movie 1 \movies\Kids Bluray\Movie 1 \movies\Kids DVd\Movie 1 \movies\Kids HD\Movie 1 \movies\Kids 4K\movie 1 \movies\3D\movie 1 \movies\Bluray\movie 1 \movies\HD\movie 1 \movies\4K\movie 1 \movies\dvd\movie1 Then in emby i pointed to "\movies" This should just work no?

If so, where can i see it, once its finished i see all metadata now of a movie but not if its 5.1 or 7.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 ISO and disc rips both offer some limitations. This is likely one of those. The ffprobe process probably just doesn't support reading ISO files. Whenever possible it's recommended to switch to a standard container file like MKV or MP4.

Ah shame Ember media manager does, it automounts in virtual clone drive, then reads data Maybe emby could add this functionality Cause now, it doesnt have metadata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think you will not see much support for ISO in any modern app... It is a dying format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie should still be recognized and have metadata from the scrapers but it may not have media info...and that's just a guess as to the cause, given what you described. I don't use the ISO format so I don't know all the resulting limitations, only that they exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But emby doesnt do that, maybe an upcoming feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the tools that analyze it that are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because "normal discs" are intentionally obfuscated by their creators to keep you from copying them. No modern computer-based systems are dealing with disc formats anymore because everything is geared towards streaming now. We have some of the best support for them that exists but it is still limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
