Hey,

So, I installed Emby on my 2012 Mac Mini a while ago. Currently, it is running MacOS 10.15.7 (Cartalina). And to be honest, I was embedded in Plex and Emby did not seem to be an alternative I wished to start over with. Fast forward a few years and my love affair with Plex is reaching a climax. So last night, I set Emby up again. Retrospectively, I believe I had deleted the app but not the database.

In the intervening years, I have reduced my collection substantially. So, consider me surprised when I start up the new server and it displays in recommendations all my old content. Including in the continue watching panel. The file paths for this content no longer exists. I accessed the database's folders in Finder and deleted the cache content. After a library rescan and restart, the problem has not resolved itself.

Therefore, is there a fix or should I delete the database and start over? If so, what is the best way to do this?

Thanking you.

HI, you probably want to make a fresh start. I would suggest shutting down the server and then deleting the server data folder entirely:

Emby Server Data Folder

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

That’s done the trick! Thank you again.
