STiFU 0 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi, since a week or so the auto organize feature has stopped working. Even when I click on "organize" manually in the web interface of the server configuration, Emby doesn't do anything. I suppose this feature was broken by an update? I am currently running 3.2.12.0 on Windows 7 x64. I bet the misbehaviour started with 3.2.11, but I can't say for sure. I have attached the server log of a freshly rebooted server after clicking manually on organize. Here's to hoping this gets sorted out soon. I use this feature all the time!!

STiFU 0 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ah, ok, looking through the log file, I found the issue myself: 2017-04-11 09:42:35.2408 Info App: Folder F:\Serien Raw is not eligible for auto-organize because it is also part of an Emby library So the auto-organize watched folder may not be part of an Emby library. Why did you include this change? This definitely used to work. I have always found it quite useful, to be able to access files that couldn't be organized right away instantly through the Emby Server.

Luke 37022 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That's not what it was intended for and it was creating additional troubleshooting for us due to people doing that. The intended purpose of auto-organize is to have a watch folder outside of your library that can be used as a source to import new content from.

moviemadnessman 13 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/46660-auto-organise-fails-to-run/ (*this link just for reference to the other recent tab) But yeah ... this change is disappointing. I understand it wasn't the intended function, but the problem is that since auto-organize doesn't do movies, having a "New Media" folder or a default save folder as a general library meant that movies and videos could be viewed in Emby, and then Autoorganize could be used to at least move the TV show episodes to the correct folders, while still allowing movies to be viewable. For a little bit, this plugin even helped with organizing new movies (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35246-new-plugin-organize-movies-with-movieorganizer/), but even it no longer works with recent updates. I feel that if the auto-organize folder is now forced to be excluded from being in the library currently, then maybe this plugin could be looked into getting rolled into Emby's auto-organize feature full time. I didn't even notice it had changed until I got a couple new shows and wondered why they had not been organized to their correct folders yet; Again, I understand why the change was made, but adding a movie organize feature (which has been shown to work) should be considered to accompany the change. Just my two cents into the matter, for whatever they are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 We're going to move the entire auto-organize feature to a plugin and that point i'll give softworkz more freedom to do what he wants to do, like organize movies for example, although he will have to handle maintenance between server releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we then be able to include the watch folder as a library? Honestly all you had to do was create a warning dialog when adding the watched folder as a library and vice versa that it may cause issues and to do so at your own risk, there will be no support for the choice. So far making this change caused more support related issues since now there is no hint to the problem unless you go into the log files and find it. There isn't even a pop up error when manually organizing, this was a sloppy change without warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smok@zz 4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I understand this change and i am trying to work around it but even though i removed what was in the "watched folder" section, i still cannot get anything to auto organize. Clicking the Organize button does nothing and scanning the library yields the same results. Can you please clarify the new steps we need to take in order to get our media organized correctly? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smok@zz 4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 nevermind - i figured it out. i needed to use network paths for the watched folder. Sorry for the fire drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeon604 0 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) broken on the FreeNAS plugin ever since the change, borked no matter how many permission changes are made to shares/volumes/etc. Even on a clean install on a new freenas shared library... does. not. work. Horrible, please roll back the whole goddamned thing. Why was auto-organize ever spun off into being a separate plugin in the first place? This should be considered core functionality like it used to be. I'm an Emby Premiere lifetime member and I'm considering... shudder... switching to Plex out of sheer irritation.
