i wanted to start a topic to consolidate any knowledge on the topic of scanning library's for emby. so anyone who has info related to how the scanners work. how they are organized in the database. people that are comfortable with developing plugins. people comfortable with database query's cmds. this topic is not designed to have one answer, but on going so anyone that has any new helpful details can put in this topic. so we can work together in fine tuning the emby scanning/updating process. since we cant update the original post with the updates that we have learned so far. we can occasionally just post within the thread what we have learned from this thread to that point. this will help future developers of plugins and others learn anything about this topic on an advanced level.

Hiya Just testing out Emby and have a weird issue. Plex (my original media server) found a new movie added straight away, to my surprise it even got the correct artwork with no assistance. Emby fails to even acknowledge the file exists and I have no idea why. Can anyone offer any tips pls? Thx

In trying to fix another issue, I removed a movie library and replaced it with the same library using a UNC path rather than a local path, then re-scanning the entire library. However, this caused a problem with existing collections made up of titles from the old library. I now cannot see the original collections and when I try to re-create collections for those titles, I get an error stating the collection already exists. I tried editing the collection.xml files in AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\data\collections\ to update the local paths to the UNC location, and re-scanning the libraries, but the collections remain missing. In the server log, I get messages stating it cannot locate content for these collections at the old local path (Warn - BaseItem: Unable to find linked item at path M:\My Movies\...). Metadata manager does not show any of the orphaned collections or content either. If possible, it would be great to be able to restore the original collections, but if that is not possible, I'd be fine with deleting the original orphaned collections and re-adding the titles. Even deleting all collections and starting from scratch would be fine. Any ideas how I might do this?
