matthewSK Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi all, I'm new in Emby and have a question. I have my music sorted in folders like january 2017, february 2017... After I added new music library, emby automaticaly changes folder names based on I don't know what. The option "Download artwork and metadata from the internet" is unchecked, but it looks like emby somehow synchronizes folder names with artwork and metadata from songs themselfs. Is there any option to disable this sync function? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi, what do you mean by change the name of folders? We do not rename your folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untoten Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Mine does this too, I have a folder called MISC videos which has some adult swim shorts. I put it as home video but for some reason it still tries to match and it still plays trailers that are only enabled in movies category, not home movies. It seems to be doing whatever it wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Then it must not be setup as a home video library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lundblad Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I have the same problem. Emby automaticaly changes folder name to a random song/album/artist from inside the folder. If i manually edit the folder name in emby then after next scan it changes back. Libary is setup as music, not home video Emby server is on synology nas Edited May 4, 2020 by mopsiptv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby won't rename your actual physical folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
