Library Scan does not add content anymore

[Dariusz 21]

I had an issue with content from my Movies Library not updating.. i soon realized that one of the 2 paths I had as part of the library was not valid anymore.. Realizing this i added the proper path and media started updating correctly.. Afterwards i realized i added a root folder rather than just the movies folder and therefor I added proper path once again and deleted the incorrect one.. 

Now when I do a media scan, it is no longer updating the Library with content.. I checked and I can see all the folders within and all user rights are correct.. I started getting SQL errors so I did a reboot on the server.. But still issue persists.. I attached logs before and after server reboot but either way when i do a library scan, for some reason nothing gets updated with the correct part anymore.. 

Please let me know if there is any info in the logs that might resolve my issue.. 

 

thank you.

I can see changes to library folder paths were made at 17:42 and 17:53 on the 20th October

But the logs only show a library scan finishing before the last edit you made to the paths

2024-10-20 17:50:19.273 Info TaskManager: Scan media library Completed after 8 minute(s) and 53 seconds

That scan had lots of errors relating to paths 

	System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/volume1/Download'.
	System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/var/db/emby-server/data/collections'.

	System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/share/Truenas/Movies/3D'.

Could you get screenshots of all the library folder paths definition and also server log after starting and completing a library media scan.

I'm actually in the process of switching from trueNAS Core to Scale so some of the paths are no longer correct.. I cleaned some of them up last night and gave up before heading to bed..

as of this morning i see the library scan was able to run and complete successfully.  It found my current library and imported it as required.. 

I think all looks good as of now.. thank you.

I would suggest of you're going to scale from core to install truenas scale from scratch that way you don't run into any issues you will regret. also i would unhook every hard drive in your server except the boot drive that way it doesn't delete your data, i had that happen on many updates etc in the past with truenas and freenas. so i learned to unhook my data drives and then do updates for a while until that deletion bug was fixed. now if you go to a new os like scale which is completely different than core i would most definitely unhook them.

thank you for the info.. i actually did the switch late november and it went without issues just by jumping in stages as posted in trunas wiki.. been running for about a month now and quite happy with it so far..
