WallyW 1 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi, I have a strange problem where I have been creating playlists and editing the metadata as music files are added ie. Artist, Album Artist & Album where the metadata wasn't picked up. Everyday my metadata starts to slowly disappear. My playlists start showing missing images when I look at the metadata all I see is the song title and the date the song was added. Any idea what would cause this loss of metadata over a period of time. Running macOs Sonoma, EMBY Server 4.7.14.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyW 1 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Original metadata: After a few days the playlist looked like this: Missing image alerted me to the metadata disappearing now showing this: This is slowly happening to all my playlists.

WallyW 1 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 One other anomaly I noticed, when I was running Emby Server on windows the playlists had a mixture of images on each playlist icon now they just appear blank on macOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 @WallyWare you still having an issue with this? If so then please run a library scan and then attach the emby server log: How to Report a Problem Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyW 1 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 Unfortunately, yes, here is the log file: embyserver.txt Scan ran from 2023-10-26 14:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Can you monitor the contents of /Users/rickyrosa/.config/emby-server/metadata ? Are files being deleted from there? Can you make a note of the size and number of files before and after this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyW 1 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Monitored 4-Nov-2023 1.73GB + 10,768 files, 6-Nov-2023: 1.73GB 10,768 today 08-Dec-2023: 1.82GB + 11,553 files. Doesn't appear to be losing files. I am now using the Synology NAS Emby Server, now issues. The anomaly I mentioned previously concerning the playlists on MACOS that doesn't add images is also not an issue on the NAS Emby server. Could you look into this anomaly.
