Library gone!

I opened up Emby to watch a movie and when I click on the hamburger icon that drops down my different media types (movies, tv shows...) they are all gone. Just shows:

 

Home

Remote

-----------

-----------

Sync

 

The media is in the media library section of the server, it's all online.

 

It looks like the database has gone bad.

 

Help!

Thanks for the quick reply @@ebr

 

I did a library scan, tried a clean database, tried a reinstall, tried removing the library.dat file for a rebuild. All unsuccessfull.

 

However, i took a look through the logs and noticed a path problem to the metadata cache. Turns out the sata cable went bad on that ssd caching drive...New cable and its all back up and working.

 

@@Luke is there any way on the server admin page that shows the paths, that they could have an indication of status for problems like this? like a green check mark is the path is reachable or a red X if its not? or a red notification that a path is not present. It could be very useful for identifying the fault for like: failed cables, hard drives, network shares....

 

Thanks,

Erik
