Thanks, I'll try that, but quick one- will deleti g the app data folder delete all my settings? Movies files TV shows etc?

Will this be starting afresh?

Which logs? There are so many of them??

The logs from you have / had issues, we should be able to see permission issues in the logs.

Hi, I did start another thread on this in General Emby as I wasn't sure where to put the request. I uploaded logs there.

When you switched to 99 100 2 did you look at permissions of you emby docker appdata folders.

Will continue in the your other post.

I've searched all over and was unable to find a fix to an issue I was encountering with collections of photos not showing their items, but I found a workaround I wanted to share. I’m using UnRAID so posted it here in this thread. I’ve never used Emby before or on other platforms, so not sure if this happens on other platforms.

On my setup, Photo Collections don’t show their items when you select them. The items are there and can be viewed in order or randomly, but no list of thumbnails appear. See screenshots to see what I’m trying to explain.

 

My Configuration

·       Emby 4.8.10.0 from linuxserver repository running in docker on unRAID.

·       Contains Photos in a single share

·       Folder structure is quite deep (genre, date, category, names, events, etc...) I'm a little OCD and still use folders to organize (I miss Picassa!)

 

My Issue:

I collected favorite photos I wanted to show into playlists, but the display of them on TV didn’t work as I wanted (seems to work better if the playlist is all videos).

I was messing around and then grouped them into collections. This worked great for showing on TV, etc. but some collections would show their contents and others would not.  (screenshot below to explain)

Basically, all but one of my collections did not have the list of items under them. They would still play, but I could not dop any edits (remove from collection, etc.)  Luckily one collection did have a list, so I started digging into the sqllite DB and into metadata to see why this one particular collection "worked" and others did not.

It turns out the folder that "worked" contained an empty folder (a mistake I assume I added at some point to the collection).  I added this empty folder to all the other collections and voila they all worked as expected.  It adds an extra item to the collection. I named it something like zzzzz so it comes at the end (otherwise it messes up the sequencing, e.g. you click on one picture and a different one opens!)
