kanipek 225 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I have been having this error for awhile now, several versions of Emby. I have been "living" with it - a restart of the server clears it up but it really does become annoying, restarting the server is not always a practical solution. Is there something wrong with my install? The puzzling thing is when it happens there is usually nothing happening that would cause "...Too many changes at once in directory..." no added episodes/films. 2018-01-06 13:01:05.698 Error LibraryMonitor: Error in Directory watcher for: \\192.168.1.112\TV Shows\U-Z *** Error Report *** Version: 3.2.50.0 Command line: C:\Users\kanip\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True User Interactive: True Processor count: 12 Program data path: C:\Users\kanip\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application directory: C:\Users\kanip\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system System.IO.InternalBufferOverflowException: Too many changes at once in directory:\\192.168.1.112\TV Shows\U-Z.

Solution Luke 37280 Posted January 6, 2018 Solution Share Posted January 6, 2018 The Windows file system monitor has a limit on the number of changes it will handle in a short period of time. there's nothing we can do about it. You can just ignore it because the server will recover from it just fine and continue on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanipek 225 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) We just shouldn't have log files anymore. I know these queries from users eat up a lot of your time. Your help is appreciated Luke and everyone. I don't really get what you mean when you say "the server will recover from it" - Do you mean when it restarts? that is the only way I have been able to get the Library Monitor to function again. If I can get rid of the problem with NFS that would be great. Can't really justify moving to a true server OS at this point, which I think would solve the problem, or at least make it less frequent. Anyways I will play with it and see what happens. Logs are your friend! Edited January 6, 2018 by kanipek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one -> limit (8192) i had too under emby 3.5.3.0 Many Files and Folders where not found or empty, allthough i had no .ignore file in these folders!

Luke 37280 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That message won't prevent you from seeing content. The only thing it will do is affect the realtime monitor. Try running a library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissi55 2 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Can i do this under ubuntu by terminal command? I scanned my Libraries more and more without any effect. That by using the button under the WebUI. What worked sometimes, was, creating a new folder / subfolder with a dummy file (a audio.mp3 or cover.jpg) and then scan again. That brings up in some cases more of the folders, that were missing under emby but that exists under file-manager (midnight commander e.g.) I set my folder and files to emby:users by sudo chown -R emby:users /music /video /ebook and i set the files to 777 -> chmod -R 777 .... As i said in some folders and subfolders that worked for me and brought some aof my missing files under emby media. But in other cases it didn't work allthough there are no ".igniore" files in these folders. Could too many missing meta data broke the watchdog or hinder it to index my files?

Luke 37280 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 If you are running a full library scan and some content isn't showing up, then i think it is best if we look at specific examples of that. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissi55 2 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) here you are ... What i found today was a folder with an mp4 file (audio+video) in a library declared as audio / mp3 So i deleted the folder containing the mp4 file and did a rescan of all libraries. After that all files and folders in that subdir - that was containing the mp4 before become visible under emby. Is it true that if i add a directory to the emby Libraries i have to define with type of content there will be - so far so good - and that after adding this directory files could be invisible if they are containing a different type of files? But in that case i would expect that mp4 files were hidden and mp3 files were not - if i say that Lib XY contains "Music" instead of "Mixed Content" - or not?

Luke 37280 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ok so whoever is sending those requests is requesting urls that don't exist. 2018-11-24 12:45:03.517 Info HttpServer: HTTP GET http://192.168.55.14:8096/service/recordings/get. UserAgent: Zenterio/0x800D-12.2.4.1-433 I've never heard of Zenterio, so you'll need to consult with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissi55 2 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 In fact that all router ports 8096 and 8920 are closed, the only client that could act lika this is a PS4 with Live TV Support App. But not clear why this one is looking for that path? IP and port are well the configured ones of the emby server ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37280 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 That request is not coming from an Emby app so i can't answer about why it is doing that. But i would think you can figure it out by finding out what device is on your network with the IP address: 192.168.55.101 Try disconnecting that device from the network, keep it off, and then you shouldn't see that activity in the emby server log anymore.
