HI, you can learn how to locate the Emby data folder here:

I have been checking all folders and searched for the file there already. Or is it maybe named something else on synology?

I have no "programdata" folder, and i cant find my library there

Hi, did you go through the synology specific instructions in the document that I just linked you to?

setting it to "0" did not work for me, i dont want to see any folders named sample and mkv files ending with "...-sample.mkv"

 

Should i set it to 0 or a super high number? i really dont understand hehe

Then my suggestion is to delete them. Once they are gone from your file system they will be gone from all clients.

[luundblad 6]

yeah but i cant delete them, need to be seedes (torrent).
But the video file that get unpacked i could move to another folder(not the sample), but i dont know how to set that up automatically.

I use unpackerr to extract but it cant move files

Well, in that case just make a 2nd copy of the file and put it in a library that does NOT contain any torrents.

The copy command works wonders. Just keep your torrents in one location and your Emby library elsewhere.

tried deleting this..

That solution doesn't work. Atleast not for me. And I have another problem with metadata for tvshows, zero metadata gets collected. Works with my movies.

Shutdown Emby Server.

Your library info will be stored in a path similar to this on Windows. Change the bolded text to be the username Emby runs under. This will be in a different location on platforms other than Windows but will still give you idea how to find it.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default

You will see a folder for each Library on your system.  Here is an example:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/2043224061573/original/lWY9e6IhM00EzPtGGOxzRmoo8im5Ng31tw.png?1622044197

Edit the folder that matches the library you want to edit and in that folder will be options.xml. Use a notepad/text editor program to edit this file.  Look for something similar to

<SampleIgnoreSize>314572800</SampleIgnoreSize>

Change it to 

<SampleIgnoreSize>0</SampleIgnoreSize>

Save the file and restart Emby.  You will then likely want to do a full library scan.

That solution doesn't work. Atleast not for me. And I have another problem with metadata for tvshows, zero metadata gets collected. Works with my movies.

We can get this option added to the library settings UI. Thanks.

Can you give us a bit of information on how your TV Library is setup on disk?

Can you provide a server log file right after scanning the TV Library?

It's not my TV library it's my Movies. I already "solved" it by deleting all the samples. This is an issue many people are struggling with and I have failed to find any working solution online. What information would you like?

@ArmalogYou should really stop using your download folder as your Emby media folders.
