Jeffpyn 1 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hi, I had a hard disk failure and restored emby from a backup using the plugin. Emby was restored with multiple instances of all the libraries. I was able to delete and recreate the libraries resulting in single instances of the libraries, However the multiple instances of the collections and playslists have persisted. things I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling emby deleting the metadata in the collections deleting and recreating the movie library Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hi, have you ran a full library scan yet after setting up your libs again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffpyn 1 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 thanks for the quick reply I have hit the "scan library files" button on the library page assuming that triggers a full library scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Let us know when that's finished and what results you see after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffpyn 1 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 No change after scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 What you can try now is hover you mouse over a collection and then select the 3 dot menu. You should see a remove option to delete the library. You can remove the playlists and collections and then run another library scan which should recreate just one of each.

Jeffpyn 1 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I dont see a delete option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Will have to find the workaround link but Collections will not have a delete/remove option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8356 Posted August 10, 2021 Solution Share Posted August 10, 2021 9 minutes ago, Jeffpyn said: I dont see a delete option For Collections you will need to do this. shutdown Emby go to "Data path: C:\Users\jeffp\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default" delete that collections folder start Emby That should change the content type of Collections shown on Dashboard-Library to Mixed Content and allow you to remove them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yep, thanks for the Happy2Play. Remove is still good for Playlists but not for Collections on 4.6+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
