Skittle9860 0 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) My setup is I installed Emby 4.8.1 on a Debian VM and the media is mounted via read-only NFS. The metadata is another NFS mount, but with read and write access. I have been having some issue with my previous VM, so I created another Debian VM and installed Emby and restored the config. I remounted the same media NFS with read-only and the NFS for metadata with read and write access. The issue that I have now is the metadata almost doubled the size from 3.0GB to 5.3GB. When I clicked on a TV show and clicked on the network, every TV show is showing double with that network. If I go to My Media's TV Show then Networks, select the same network, the shows don't have double info. In addition, the Continue Watching section shows double the info. Also, some of the TV shows like https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18936898/ and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14986406/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_7_nm_1_q_bleac, Emby could not pull the info. I tried to enter the imdb number manually but Emby refused to update the metadata. These TV shows showing up as a folder icon instead of the posters, but it has the correct descriptions. I upgraded to 8.4.3 and still no changes to the issues. The metadata still double the size of the original installation, the metadata for each TV show is still double, and still could not pull the metadata for some specific shows. How can I reduce the metadata info back to its original size? Is there a way to fix the duplicate metadata? For the TV shows that are not getting any metadata, is there a way to fix this so that Emby can pull the metadata and posters needed? Thanks Edited March 10 by Skittle9860 added more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Specific examples are need and IMDB is not directly used in any way. But yes their ids can potentially be used to query against TMDB, TVDB and OMDB. 1 need more info on why you thing stuff is doubled. 2 specific examples but if it is what I think per other topics of stuff showing multi-versioned when you only have one copy then odds are will require library rebuild. 3 still need specific examples along with server log for that example.

Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Looks like some of the other topics were caused by plugins but you don't appear to have them. But there are a few topics but still not something we have been able to reproduce. If you remove a Show that is duplicated and do a full scan and then readd it does the same thing happen?

Skittle9860 0 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 What do you mean when you said "remove a Show"? I tried to "Remove Identification" from the 3-dots menu, it didn't work. I could still see the duplicate metadata. I cannot delete any media since my NFS for media is read-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you move it to a different location? So move one show to a different folder outside of your configure Emby locations, do full library scan to clear the database, and move the show back. Do you get duplicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved a TV show to a different location, so that Emby would not see it. I ran a full scan, then when I go back to where I see double metadata, it was not there anymore. I moved back the TV show to its original location. Ran the full scan again, and the double info shows up again. I repeated the process again, but this time, I deleted the metadata before moving the TV show to a different location. After moving the TV show back to its original location then with the full scan, the metadata doubles again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove Identification does not equal "Remove Show". It simply removes the additional metadata but it won't make it disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37070 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 What you could try is removing all TV libraries from the server. Wait for the scan to finish after removing them, and then add them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure I understand the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skittle9860 0 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I removed the TV shows library, and ran a full scan. I re-added the tv shows library and ran a full scan. Emby shows single metadata now. The issue now is the poster. It is about 80% has poster and the rest don't, but what they have is thumb and backdrop images only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, did you try using the image editor to manually download an image for one of these series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
