Search the Community

Hi guys. First of all, thanks for the great work you are doing. Emby is a great media swerver and it's worth the money I spent for the premiere license. Now the issue. Performing a search while typing is a great feature wth nice user experience but it may be problematic when you have a huge database. I have more than 100,000 titles (plus actors, performers and all the other types of related entities) and the search is just too slow and very annoying as, for every letter you type in the search box, it starts to search my huge database. Is there any way to set the "type speed" or, better, simply disable the feature "search as you type" and let the server start the search only after you press 'ENTER'? It shouldn't too complex to implement. If not, would you consider to add it in one of the next releases? As you may understand, the search feature is very important on a database of ten thousands of titles... Thanks, Gerry

Hi, following situation: I'm trying to organize my "big anime about a rubber pirate" tv show/anime files. Since that tv show / anime is such big pile of episodes, I tried to organize my files in different folders separated by a finite episode numbers. I started with around 100 files per folder. i constructed this folder structure: [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX} [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 001 - 100\[100 files] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 101 - 200\[100 files] [...] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 1001 - 1100\[100 files] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- specials\specials\[special episode or movie files] shown here: This file organization is correctly recognized by emby by sorting all files correctly into the tv show. Since I use the "absolute" numbering scheme, the files are usually numbered 0001 - 1100 and I chose the following name scheme: tv show name (year) eXXXX_[episode name]- [resolution][group].[file-extension] All files are correctly put into season 1 (because of absolute numbering) and specials which includes OVAs, Specials and Movies. Perfectly done until here. But now comes what i found strange: When i tried to add metadata to the tv show, only the first folder that contained the first 100 episodes was correctly enriched by metadata. Every other folder (except for the specials material) was ignored by the metadata collection and now only appears by file name. What I did to help analyzing / reproduce: Since I wanted to reproduce the problem, I moved some episodes from the second folder (episodes 101-105 in "101-200"-folder) into the first folder ("001-100"). After retriggering the meta data collection now episodes 101 to 105 are also enriched by the correct metadata, which means, that the folder separation works fine with recognition of the tv show relation, but not for meta data collection. result: Since the tv show relation clearly is found across the separate folders, I (maybe wrongly) expected the meta data collection to work just as fine. Am I doing something wrong or did I find a special behaviour of the meta data collection algorithm? Kind regards Roke
