roaku 795 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Both of those are being detected by Emby as 'Extras', not movies, so you probably have an issue with your folder/file structure. Sharing a screenshot of that structure will probably help you get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synology DS918+ Emby 3 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Here is the Extras folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Aren't those hidden files made by the filesystem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synology DS918+ Emby 3 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 No they are not hidden files. I have tested, show hidden files, nothing is hidden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 And does right click edit metadata show the same path for both item? But server log from when it was added would be needed. Otherwise, it will only be guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3308 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'd assume same as @Happy2Play: https://kb.synology.com/en-ro/DSM/tutorial/Why_are_dot_underscore_files_created 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synology DS918+ Emby 3 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yes same path for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 But it is or was a file created by your environment/filesystem per the attached link above correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synology DS918+ Emby 3 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 I don't know, because I can't find such a file in Nas either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Don't own MAC or Synology but this is a known interaction of the two per the internet. Why you are not seeing the file I don't know but Emby is so it was there or is hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Emby Server does not ignore files that are marked as hidden, so that is why you see it in Emby. But files that start with a dot are supposed to be ignored. For whatever reason this probably isn't happening for extras, but we'll take a look at it. Thanks.
