ManuJapan89 2 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Hi, i'm playing around emby for a few weeks now... i tried to create a personal video and photo library type. Once all video as loaded as expected i tried to modify the library tipe into another type, and even if i digged into ui options i didn't find how to do it. Let's explain why i do want to do this. i have HUGE libraries, i wish to take my time to set up and fix thing. so, expecially on plex i adopted this behaviour.(before they introduced new agents, now is impossible XD): A 1st scan using personal media show agent library(Plex), personal video and photos library type on emby then once all is loaded as folder, i was changing Library Agent(Plex) without refresh all metadata and slowly fix everything as i like most tried to reproduce this behaviour in emby but it seems i can't change library type. is it possible? NOTE: i know i don't have a standard approach on these thing, is my approach that is different. no blame or disappointment at all if it's not possible thanks to anyone that can give me an answer Edited July 21, 2022 by ManuJapan89 details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1527 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 You can't change the content type of a library, it has to be created with the type you want. If you're trying to delay some scanning (e.g. to reduce load) then add a new library of the required type and then transfer your files into it in small batches, waiting for the scanning of each to be completed.

ManuJapan89 2 Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Thanks Paul @pwhodges for answering my question. i don't want to touch file on filesystem becaues they are used by plex which is always in running. I would rather change approach and let emby do what it has to do and then, slowly, very slowly fix everything. matching 1488 anime series isn't a joke at all. Now i'm fixing anime series original title field(from kanji to romanized) inside plex library for all 1488 series(200 titles left - a week of work). once done. i'll take a break and i will build emby as an alternative media server with your tips(example, scan anime that doesn't have season subfolder ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
