tp546 39 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi guys, All of a sudden, my Emby server started having issues and I get this error message on the screen: Unhandled exception: the path is not of a legal form Any time this message comes up, Emby has already been shut down as a result. How can I troubleshoot this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp546 39 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks Luke. I think I found the relevant log - here is what it contains: The path is not of a legal form.System.ArgumentExceptionat System.IO.Path.NewNormalizePathLimitedChecks(String path, Int32 maxPathLength, Boolean expandShortPaths)at System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck, Int32 maxPathLength, Boolean expandShortPaths)at System.IO.Path.InternalGetDirectoryName(String path)at MediaBrowser.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor.<>c__DisplayClass15.<ReportFileSystemChanged>b__14(String i)at System.Linq.Enumerable.Any[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source, Func`2 predicate)at MediaBrowser.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor.ReportFileSystemChanged(String path)at MediaBrowser.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor.<ReportFileSystemChangeComplete>d__3.MoveNext()--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.AsyncMethodBuilderCore.<>c.<ThrowAsync>b__6_1(Object state)at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)at System.Threading.QueueUserWorkItemCallback.System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem.ExecuteWorkItem()at System.Threading.ThreadPoolWorkQueue.Dispatch() EDIT: here is the server log from the same time period: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/472290/mb3%20logs/Log.txt Edited September 9, 2016 by tp546 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14959 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Not sure it is your problem but uninstall/delete the Advanced Intros plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Not sure it is your problem but uninstall/delete the Advanced Intros plug-in. So I can't use that plug-in anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Please provide a new server log. thanks. Have you had a chance to look at any of the logs? I am still getting this error and I'm also realizing now that many of the items I have in subfolders of one of my main folders are no longer showing up in Emby. I don't know if these are related but please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I put in a fix for the next release of the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37250 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not sure yet. I think it's something specific to your files but I don't know what it is yet. But we can catch the error, log it and continue instead of crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
