AllesMeins 26 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I've a strange problem withe the auto organize feature. When adding a correction for files that emby doesn't recognize on its own (=marked in red), some shows started to appear twice in the drop down menu. If I select one of these shows and try to apply I get an "Error: null" from emby. This started only a few days ago and seems to happen only in the auto organize feature. In my library and in the metadata manager these shows only appear once. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running Emby 3.2.70.0 on OMV 2.2.14 Edited January 23, 2018 by AllesMeins
Luke 38981 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Hi, yes this is actually an issue in the server core of old database entries hanging around. It is something we'll look to improve for a future release. thanks !
AllesMeins 26 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Hi, is there any way for me to fix it manually? Maybe clean the database somehow... So that I can continue using auto-organize. Or do I have to wait until the next releases?
Luke 38981 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 You'd have to go into the emby database file and delete the old entries. it's probably not going to be easy to do.
AllesMeins 26 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 okay, then I'll guess I just have to wait... Thanks
0plus6 3 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I am having the exact same issue, however, this is causing a larger problem for me. I recently moved all files to a new drive and mapped my libraries accordingly. When I attempt to auto organize a TV series it tries to write the file the old drive.
TheMafia 7 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Has this been looked at? It is causing me some major issues at the moment.
Luke 38981 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Has this been looked at? It is causing me some major issues at the moment. What version of Emby Server?
TheMafia 7 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 What version of Emby Server? Hi mate Version 4.1.1.0. Would it be easier just to delete the database and let it re-create?
Luke 38981 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Yes, at this point it should not happen again with new series, but older entries from previous server versions may not necessarily be cleaned up.
chstoll 2 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I do have the same Problem, some series appear even three times. I don't want to delete my complete library.db file. How can I cleanup those old entries?
Luke 38981 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 In theory you could edit the database directly to delete the old rows as well. Please keep in mind this should no longer happen with the latest version of the server, but you may still have some of these duplicates from older releases such as 3.5 and below.
icthusman1 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 @@icthusman1 How can I fix this? That single show goes on and on....
icthusman1 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 So the solution is to delete the library.db file? Then recreate my whole library? Ugh. How can I just edit the DB? I do SQL querying at work so am familiar with Select/Update/Insert/Delete in SQL but I am not sure what program to use to open the library.db.
AllesMeins 26 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Sorry to dig this up again, but I finaly decided to clean this mess up :-) Are there any downsides to deleting my libray.db and rebuilding it? Will I lose the watched-status of my shows? Any other problems I should be aware of?

Will I lose the watched-status of my shows? Any other problems I should be aware of? Yes you will lose watch status, although our backup plugin can help you preserve that. I would suggest waiting until Tvdb has resolved their issues though before doing this: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/79269-tvdb-api-issues/
