Hello, I recently shifted to emby from Plex. Emby server is installed on raspberrypi 4b 8gb running on Debian. Realtime monitoring was working just fine few days back but now it's only working for movies but not for TV Shows. Realtime monitoring is enabled for both libraries i.e. Movies and Shows. Storage is directly connected to raspberrypi. Kindly guide how to fix this. Thanks

Hi, after moving my Emby Server from Synology Diskstation to Raspberry Pi with DietPI, the real time monitor on my mounted network shares does not work. On Synology I had no problems, but with the mounted shares on my Raspberry I did not get it to work. I tried to mount my Synology drive with SMB and NFS, but no success. I searched for a solution mainly in this forum, but no luck. So I found another solution/workaround for this problem: a script running on my Synology NAS, which triggers a library refresh task, if a file has created, changed or removed in my media folder: 1. install inotify_tools Install from synocommunity: https://synocommunity.com/#easy-install https://synocommunity.com/packages 2. Create script Create script such like this: #!/bin/bash # check for mkv and ts files which have at least a character or a bracket # NOTE: the PATTERN does not work in --include param (don´t know why...) set -e -u trap ctrl_c INT function ctrl_c() { echo [$(date)] Monitoring media files canceled >> $LOGFILE exit } WAIT_SEC=60 # add additional file extension here and to --include pattern! PATTERN="[a-zA-Z\(\) ].*\.(mkv|ts)$" # adjust the IP and the api-key to your settings! COMMAND="curl --data '' http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8096/Emby/Library/Refresh?api_key=<api-key>" LOGFILE="/volume1/media/notify.log" echo [$(date)] Start monitoring media files >> $LOGFILE while true do while read directory action file; do echo "[$(date)] The file '$file' appeared in directory '$directory' via '$action'" >> $LOGFILE if [[ "$file" =~ $PATTERN ]]; then # wait for other changes for not re-trigger during the sleep time echo [$(date)] Trigger scan in $WAIT_SEC seconds >> $LOGFILE sleep $WAIT_SEC echo [$(date -Is)] Trigger library refresh >> $LOGFILE $COMMAND &>> $LOGFILE break fi done < <(inotifywait -q -m --include "\.(mkv|ts)$" -r -e create -e moved_to -e delete /volume1/media/) echo [$(date)] trigger done, wait for the next change >> $LOGFILE done echo [$(date)] Stop monitoring media files >> $LOGFILE The script can be easier, because I wanted to exclude files, which only have numbers. So if you don´t need it, you can remove the part with the PATTERN or change the regex (I´m not a regex expert, but it works like expected...). The wait time is also optional or can be de-/increased... 3. Create Task to run script on startup Create triggered task for startup in Synology which is calling this script. I would suggest to test it before... ;-)

Hi there, i have setup a emby Server on a Raspberry PI2. At this Mooment all works fine, but the Realtime Monitoring is not working. I only use the emby Server for collecting my movies/TV-Shows. The Movies are stored on my NAS and i have mounted the Directory on my PI2 over NFS. The scan works fine but after i insert a new movie it does not appear in my Library. I wait 2 Hours but nothing. The i make a rescan and the new movie is there. I have already mounted my Share as SMB but the same Problem. Can someone help? Regards Hermann
