I recently installed the latest "stable" version of the Emby Server on my Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011. I Library Scan ran successfully for my Home Videos, but the scan for my TV Series (6 TV Shows, 842 Episodes) has not completed in the last 24 hours. I have not added my Movies yet because I wanted to complete 1 library at a time. Please note that I'm using network shares (e.g. \\WHS2011\TV Series) for my media libraries. Attached is my latest log. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to get this scan completed so I can start on my Movies. Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated. server-63621763200.txt

Opinions/Suggestions welcome! So finally have a number of years one of my WHS2011 servers has kicked the bucked. Actually, I think just the motherboard quit on me as it will no longer post. It had been running 24/7 and after one of the many Windows updates requiring a restart I can not even get it to post so I can get into the BIOS. Current hardware: Supermicro X8SIL-F Motherboard 4GB RAM Old i3 processor (can't remember exactly what and can't post to figure it out) 1x 1.5TB WD Blue OS 6x Mix of different size and manufacturer drives (Single data pool created using Drive Bender) Budget $700CDN or less to replace Motherboard/RAM/Processor: Possible hardware: ASRock Motherboard 226WS ATX LGA1150 - $219CDN Kingston ValueRAM 8GB 1600MHz (KVR16N11H/8) - $86.99CDN - On ASRock Memory QVL list Intel Core i5-4570 3.2Ghz 1150 84W Quad Core processor - $254.99 or Intel Xeon E3-1245V3 Haswell 3.4Ghz 1150 84W Quad Core processor - $349.99 Note: Both processors do not require any specific bios version on the motherboard, which is preferred as I don't have a spare processor to temporarily install in order to update the bios in case I receive a board with an old bios. Primary purpose is MB3 transcoding at least three simultaneous streams (current setup barely did more then 1). Server runs 24/7 running OneDrive & BitSync cloud based applications & maintains routine daily backs ups of multiple PCs on the network. Overkill? Underkill? Do you recommend one process over another, why? The reason for a server based motherboard is WHS2011 is a server OS, so I've had driver issues in the past with running this OS on a non-server board, I want to avoid that issue. As to why I'm running WHS2011, I have two other servers running the same OS and all talk to each other quite well. Also, prefer not to go to Server 2012 with the added expense of the OS as this time. Comments/suggestions/alternatives most welcome! Would like to make the purchase soon as I need to take the working server back to it's home the end of next week. If this is the wrong spot for this, let me know and/or feel free to move it. Thanks for in advance for your thoughts.

Hey guys, I run MB3 server on my home server with WHS2011, and was wondering what the proper way of automatically starting it up as a service? For now, the only way I've gotten it to work is to enter "services.msc", and start it myself. I thought I set up the service to start automatically, but that doesn't happen. Which means I still need to log into a session to get it started, which is what I'd been doing using the tray icon anyway. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help, CFC
