Hi there I recently switched from PLEX to Emby and from Windows Server to PROXMOX with a VM of Ubuntu Live Server 24. I have 3 Drives lets call them X, Y, Z. those are mapped like: /mnt/x:/mnt/x; /mnt/y:/mnt/y; /mnt/z:/mnt/z; They do all follow the same Path Structure like /mnt/x/videos/youtube-archive/YouTubeChannel/All Videos/ YouTubeChannel - S01 Exxxx [Video-ID] - /mnt/y/videos/youtube-archive/YouTubeChannel/All Videos/ YouTubeChannel - S01 Exxxx [Video-ID]. In Emby I added both dirs into a TV Lib, disabled metadata Grabber besides Image Capture and NFOs (while also enabling the creation of NFOs and Pictures). My Files are all MP4s with Embedded Metadata as well. Such as Title, Description and Thumbnail. How do I force merging the "Channels" (Shows) ? Giving them a random ID from a MetaDB doesnt seem to merge them, unless I enable the MetaDB (which is a hit or miss) and at that point Emby ignores the setting to prefere local Metadata or the embedded title over Filenames. Hence my Archive is auto updating itself daily it would be a hustle to turn the settings on and off again and again. So any Idea how to do it the best way for the given situation? - Auto updates daily - Partially whole Channels - Different Playlists from one Channel which should be listed as another Season under the Same Show (Channel) - Embedded Metadata - Same Pathing on multiple Drives

I wasn't able to find an answer to this, so I hope I'm not duplicating anything. I had two folders: one with "Films", and one with "Requested films." (and the same for Series, but the principle remains the same). I wanted to view requested movies in their own library, but at the same time I want to have all requested films also in the "Films" Library. That way, I can check in "Requests" what films are available after having been requested, but when browsing for a film to watch I can just go into "Films" and see every movie available. If that makes sense.. I figured I'd move all requested movies in the "Films" folder, having tagged them with "request", and filter that way. However, this virtual library thing is still being developed, I'm guessing. Searching by keyword/tag isn't practical as every single keyword shows up, and even when I select "request" I get a horizontal list of movies rather than the normal top-down view. What I did next was split the movies again. Films in their own folder, Requested films in their own folder because I figured I can have a "Requested" library with just requests, and a "Films" library with both the "Films" and "Requests" folder attributed to that all-in-one library. Wrong. When I want to add the "Requests" folder as a second source to the "Films" library, I get: "There was an error adding the media path. Please ensure the path is valid and the Emby Server process has access to that location." I really don't want to have to switch to a different program, especially since I paid for Emby premium, but is there any way I can get this sorted? Or is the only solution to wait for the virtual libraries? If so, when will that become reality? What version, when is it scheduled to be released?
