I am in the process of migrating to Emby from Video Station (due to its losing support in future DSM versions). I added the appropriate shared folders to the Emby Library. I am manually going through the movie lists, comparing them to make sure each item refers to the correct film, has the correct metadata, images, etc. The process is a bit tedious, but presumably I will only have to do this once. Fortunately, I am compulsive enough to have made a spreadsheet with all the content (like a Table of Contents), including IMDB references where possible, which made identifying the correct films infinitely easier.. I have a movie that is in 2 parts, with separate files, titled "Movie - part 1", and "Movie - part 2". My Emby movie server correctly automatically identified & indexed part 1, but has ignored part 2, even though part 2 was released several years later & definitely has its own reference in IMDB, etc. There is not even a separate, incorrectly identified item that I could edit the metadata for (unless automatic indexing completely changed the name so it can't be found in a Search). I tried moving the file (and its VSmeta file) using File Station to a non-indexed folder, waited a bit, then moved it back: to force the indexer to recognize it as a new addition. It still does not appear in the list, and a search for "Movie" still only shows part 1. The file IS in the appropriate folder, and is findable by search in File Station, but it is not findable in Emby. Why? How can I force Emby to recognize the file & show it in the movie list (where I could a least edit the metadata)? I also have a completely different version of this movie, in 3 parts (3 separate files), titled "Movie - disk 1", etc, that are also not showing in Emby's movie list, nor findable in search. This begs the question: How do I find other movies that might be missing? I suppose I could have Video Station & Emby open in different tabs, switching back & forth to compare them - also tedious. But how do I get Emby to recognize the ones that are missing?

Greetings All Hope this is not a duplicate post. I have an issue where all the movies are not showing up "My Media" library. I have ran scan several times with no luck. I setup on a different computer with the same issue. It seems to be the same files that are being displayed. Any thoughts? Thank you, Rick

Emby is doing something odd (current version under Mint) . When I access the server from either Roku box or a Roku enabled TV, only the latest movies and collections are shown. If I go into Genres all the movies are displayed. In Emby the user has access to all libraries. Weird. Has anyone seen this before? thanks, Bj

Hi all, I'm new to Emby, so far I'm very pleased. The killer feature for me is the Folder navigation where you can have posters for the folder itself. I came from a Microsoft Media Center environment where this works, but I was quite disappointed in e.g. Plex where it seems I can't navigate by folder view. It was very important for me so my kids could navigate by photos, not just reading text. Anyway, here are two newbie questions relating to Folder navigation: 1) If a Folder has only one movie, the folder itself will not show just the movie inside (which may have a different poster than the folder). Is that the way it is supposed to work? 2) I have a folder for "By Geography", where I have 3 subfolders which contain many movies. The main folder itself has these 3 subfolders and then just one movie. In this case Emby seems to ignore the 3 subfolders and just show the single movie in the "By Geography" folder. I think that's a bug. I've attached a screen shot of the folder /movie structure on my NAS. Emby uses the name of the folder ("Geographic area"), but adds year of the single movie (2008), then use the poster for the movie, not the folder.
