Multiple camera upload folders in library

[jbird32275 0]

I am having the issue with multiple entries in the library being created for camera uploads. I am in the process of deleting them, but I still have 15. I've seen this issue reported elsewhere, but I have not seen a resolution to the issue. Did I miss it? I'm on Version 4.8.3.0.

May have to retest on a clean new portable though.

Got sql errors in log attached below.

But removed each Library from Library setup without issue.

Shutdown Emby and deleted the cameraupload.json

Started Emby and launch app and got worse but no sql error. Just more libraries.

New system nothing but camera upload.

The above deletes just fine from the UI.

But deleting libraries and upload json and toggling different folder options on the device eventually broke the created libraries and cannot remove.  Just get spinning circle as mentioned in other topics.  I believe it was Recent as that is the only one that appear to actually do anything. 

With just iphone or just hidden I never got upload to trigger.

Will keep testing on this portable as it has nothing on it.

But from what I have noticed if a camera library exists it does not go crazy creating others.  But I am only testing with one device if that makes a difference.

I can consistently get 6 libraries with one functional one starting from scratch.

5 with no content and 1 with content.

iPhone and Hidden folder do not appear to do anything and can only get upload to trigger with Recents folder checked.

 

Only testing was done with a iPhone.  Clean/New 4.9.0.12 portable with no other data.

Now deleting the cameraupload.json and restarting server and relaunching app did not create any additional libraries.

Deleting the broken libraries from UI and leaving good library did not present any issues with future uploads.  The issue appears to be with the first upload with nonexisting library.

 

Tested creating the Camerauploads library via api then launching app and everything worked as expected.

So there is a issue somewhere with initial creations for the CameraUpload library.

OK I think I see something here to help prevent it from happening.

@jbird32275workaround for now is simply to delete the extra libraries.

Thanks.

Testing on a clean beta 4.9.0.14 it only created one library in my test where previously it created at least 6 libraries.

[Happy2Play 8290]

Now the real issue of how to help users that cannot delete from the UI. @Luke

Is there an easy sql command to assist here?
