Hello, Sometimes I'm updating my server and then Emby will shut itself off (Sometimes forced due to crashes). It seems that the "transcoding-temp" folder will remain intact. Streams that are no longer being watched are still files from.... Could it be an idea to give a option so Emby will auto-clean this folder on boot? Like a checkbox for example under transcoding-settings. This will ensure the folder remains clean. I saw my transcoding-temp folder was 56 GB over the years. A regex can be used to filter by ID and ****_***.TS files. this will prevent cleaning other things when the user has changed the folder location itself. I can always script something, but I think having this within Emby is more handy for everyone.

Emby is working fine with the latest 4.7 release but when I go to update it to 4.8 it starts to update the library.db and then fails saying the database is maformed. What can I do to get updated to 4.8 without just deleting the library.db and losing all data (especially watched data)? For some context this is an ubuntu 22.04 lxc container on a Proxmox server.

I want Emby to start on boot with my linux laptop. When i had windows installed i had an option to start at boot. I cant find it on linux. I am using Chalet Os with the xbuntu 16.04 as a base. I figure i can maybe add the start code to some file sonewere but how if emby needs sudo permissions to start? In a newbie to linux by the way
