Guest topbanana Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 So i did a clean format/reinstall of my laptop. so put Emby on with a fresh install... but then copied over everything from the backed-up \Emby-Server\data folders, including all the images, etc... But i deleted the library.db & refreshinfo.db so the library would rebuild... Does the server use the images that are already downloaded, or does it just download everything a fresh and overwrite whatever's already there?

Solution ebr 15273 Posted July 4, 2015 Solution Share Posted July 4, 2015 It depends on several factors. If you store your metadata and images with your media, then it should not have to re-download at all (one of the reasons we recommend that option). Then, if all of the references to the media are exactly the same from the new box, then it shouldn't have to re-build any of the cache or data either.

Guest topbanana Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 OK, gotcha I subtly changed the path of a couple of the media folders... so they'll be downloading again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
