Soki 9 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hi due to a rights issue which prevented the existing libraries from seeing any file in them i had to re-create all my libraries new. So what i did was just create a new "Series" library and pointed it to the existing series folder. After that and after the scan the library can now see the files in the folder again. The favourites which were previosly defined are automatically and correctly set too. BUT sadly it seems like that the system does now not know which movies/series have already been watched which creates a big mess for me. Can you give me advice on how to restore that? Also there seems to be a discrepancy between some folders within the series folder. For some i can set a picture, for some i cant. If i go via "identify > imdb t123456" the series can be found and the data gets fetched, but no picture will be set. Same goes for the library folders. Please advise on where to look first. Thankyou Soki Edited February 15 by Soki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, try using the tvdb id instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a tougher question. Can you please provide an example? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soki 9 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Hi Luke, thanks for reaching out. Since its only getting more and more complex i a thinking about just starting over new with my libraries. but do this, i need to know how to start over clean. some folder have jps's inside them, for other files it seems the pictures are stored in another folder. what would be the procedure to "clean out" everything? i want to just deleted the libraries, then delete ALL pictures and metadata information, then create new libraries and start a fresh scan. Could you advise me what to do to make sure everything is clean and fresh without actually re-installing emby? thanks soki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schleudertrauma 4 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It depends on what you set in your library settings for each library. Did you enabled the option to store pictures in the media directories then the pictures are stored next to your media files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37254 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I suppose you could do a fresh install if you really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
