grabbing temp files from shared folder?

[jriker1 16]

Not sure if this is Live TV but looks like it.  I'm looking at the logs and noticed that ffmpeg is looking in \\mce for what looks like temp activities with the LiveTV shows?  So I see:

I see references to:  file:\\mce\d$\Recorded TV\TempSWMC\LiveTV_Emby^^2_Digital Cable_192_2022_08_06_09_27_54.wtv

This are no pointers anywhere I can see in emby to the mce computer.  This is migrated from an old system but every screen I look at shows various other servers but nothing pointing to that.  Any idea what's going on?  Weird as it mentions LiveTV_Emby but also wtv file.

I kind of figured it out as maybe WMC temp files during live watching but the name contains Emby so confused.

Hi, you must have a library pointing to that folder. Have you checked Emby library setup?

[jriker1 16]

I do but am confused.  

I point to the \\mce\d$\Recorded TV folder wher emy WMC shows record so we can play them back in Emby.

In that folder though is a TempSWMC folder that is for live tv.  Think it caches content there to pause/back/forward Live TV.

Couple things:

 

1. Is there any way to exclude a folder specifically within the Recorded TV folder but not all subfolders?

2. Why is there a reference to "LiveTV_Emby" associated with that wtv file in the logs?

Try adding a file named .ignore underneath TempSWMC. But why configure ServerWMC to put temp files there?

No idea. That is a serverwmc folder so I can't really explain it.

Not ServerWMC.  This is pure Windows Media Center on Windows 7 and how it's setup out of the box.  I am using MCEBuddy to rename and sort the wmv files so they show up in Emby to view but that's out of the box.    Technically other than that Recorded TV folder being in my Emby library, Emby has no awareness of it or shouldn't.

OK but TempSWMC is a ServerWMC folder.

[jriker1 16]

I do have ServerWMC installed in Emby probably came over from my old install but there are no settings I can see for it.  Not using it either.

 

I did notice there are two TempSWMC and TempRec.  TempRec being used by WMC and TempSWMC not being used since 2020 so not sure why Emby is looking at it.  I deleted the folder.
