nbedendo 4 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Hi, as you know i'm pretty new to Emby and i'm trying to see if fits with a working need. I have so many MP4 who i use as adv material for my work and i want to try to use emby for share that to my clients. Obviously this Library is not something who any scraper will recognize so i will use the Folder view. And i cant change the folder structure and the name of each file. Basically is very easy ROOT/ A/ B/ .... Z/ and any file in each dir is ABC - XXX - 123.mp4 For some of them, and i did not understood with criteria Emby have, Emby instead of show me the Folder A (for example) show me the file ARALDICA (just an example) and if i open i see that he create a Version menu where included all the different file. There is a way to avoid that or i have to enter in each and click on "Split Version Apart" and edit manually metadata for show the existing showed name? Than in any case i saw that after the above action in see the "single" file in the ROOT and not in A Folder, so i tried to rename the folder A in SOMETHING than back to A and this fixed this one.

GrimReaper 3322 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 What library type is that? If I understood correctly, you don't need scraping, hence 'Home videos and pictures' library-type with Folder view might suit your needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbedendo 4 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Yes you are right do not need scraping and i will create NFO manually (or maybe i will find some tool who create NFO basing on some file naming rules if anyone have suggestion will be welcome) in order to even if i will use the folder structure i still be able to do search based on the XXX part as example (who is the MANUFACTURER NAME) who have product in different AZ Folder. I will try the Home Video and Pictures. Tnx Edited November 5, 2021 by nbedendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37166 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 A library option is probably needed to ignore multi version naming. I think that would help here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbedendo 4 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Connected question: there is a way after the split function to update the metadata with the previous data? Let me explain better: when the server build the group due to the file name comparison the media show the “common” part as a globa title, now when i split manually the group any media keep with the same title, i’m asking if is possible to have instead the file name like any other media who wad not envolved in the group. I have, after the reinstall of the server all the group rebuilded and all the media to be edited again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
