akacharos 11 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 This is driving me crazy: Emby refuses to scan a movie library-while the rest are working fine. All libraries are loaded on a a single mounted rclone drive (F:) on Windows , so permissions are not the issue -as the rest of libraries are scanned without any issues from the same mount point. I even fully uninstalled Emby for a fresh start -in case something got messed somehow. It still didn't work. I then did an rclone copy to get an identical content with a different folder name and added that additional folder to the library path > still no go. Same setup works fine on my linux emby server (which I want to replace with this Windows instance). I even installed JellyFin to check things and JellyFin can scan that library without any issues. Logs show nothing with a quick glimpse, but I attach them in case you see something I miss Any suggestions here? embyserver (11).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi, what exactly do you mean by refuses to scan a library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 @akacharos There are no scans or librarymonitor activity in that log. Did you run the task? Or are you Scanning/Refreshing a specific library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I restarted Emby and run Scan Library Files and generated the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 @akacharos what folder path is the movie library configured with in Emby library setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacharos 11 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 @Luke the initial folder is "F:\Greek Movies" . I created a copy of that to another folder (F:\Greeek Cinema) , deleted the initial library and created a new library one with the path of (F:\Greeek Cinema) > same issue. I then deleted that library and started fresh by creating another library with a new path . but this time I started copying movies in batches of 20 and then run the scan on every batch to see what happens. It started scanning! After some batches, it craps out and refuses to scan. I assumed that maybe some filenames had illegal character or something, so I used TMM to rename all movies and recreated the library > It didn't scan at all. I have no idea what can cause it and Emby log is not showing anything. I had just removed everything and starting fresh. Let's see what happens.

akacharos 11 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Uninstalled Emby , installed latest beta and added just this single library. Same issue : Library scan is completed in 1 sec but nothing is scanned. But at least this time throws an error with a specific folder. I will try to troubleshoot it. embyserver (13).txt Edited September 16, 2022 by akacharos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 On the new install did you only create one library? What folder did you point it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacharos 11 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 So it seems that the issue was with a folder that Emby could not properly read/access (no idea). Once this folder was removed, then the scan could continue. @Luke, for what it's worth here's the issue from the logs (full log in the post above): *** Error Report *** Version: 4.8.0.8 Command line: C:\Users\Haris\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll -noautorunwebapp Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.22000 Framework: .NET 6.0.8 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: C:/Users/Haris/AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 12 Data path: C:\Users\Haris\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application path: C:\Users\Haris\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'F:\GreekCinema\Sapounopetra - To hrima sto laimo sas (1995)'. at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator`1.CreateDirectoryHandle(String path, Boolean ignoreNotFound) at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator`1.Init() at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerable`1..ctor(String directory, FindTransform transform, EnumerationOptions options, Boolean isNormalized) at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerableFactory.FileSystemInfos(String directory, String expression, EnumerationOptions options, Boolean isNormalized) at System.IO.DirectoryInfo.InternalEnumerateInfos(String path, String searchPattern, SearchTarget searchTarget, EnumerationOptions options) at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.GetFileSystemEntries(String path, Boolean recursive) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Providers.DirectoryService.GetFileSystemEntries(String path, Boolean clearCache) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Library.Resolvers.Movies.MovieResolver.ResolveVideos[T](IEnumerable`1 fileSystemEntries, Folder parent, IDirectoryService directoryService, Boolean supportMultiEditions, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, Boolean parseName, Boolean enforceIgnore, Boolean checkSubFolders) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Library.Resolvers.Movies.MovieResolver.ResolveMultiple(Folder parent, List`1 files, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, IDirectoryService directoryService) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Library.LibraryManager.ResolvePaths(FileSystemMetadata[] files, IDirectoryService directoryService, Folder parent, LibraryOptions libraryOptions) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Folder.GetNonCachedChildren(IDirectoryService directoryService, LibraryOptions libraryOptions) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Folder.ValidateChildrenInternal(IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken, Boolean recursive, Boolean refreshChildMetadata, MetadataRefreshOptions refreshOptions, IDirectoryService directoryService) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Folder.ValidateSubFolders(BaseItem[] children, IDirectoryService directoryService, IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: System.Private.CoreLib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akacharos 11 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Ideally Emby should ignore the folder and continue -not quit the scan process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 OK that should be easy enough to add. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
