lunix33 0 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hey, I had the same problem, quick fix for you and it worked wonder for me: ``` # > ln -s /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby-server ``` This create a shortcut to your old emby folder to the new emby-server folder. I'm using a link just in case anything try to use the old path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
838Joel 54 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 After installing Version 3.4.1.0 my emby server simply won't scan/add new videos to libraries, err: "Scan media library failed. a minute ago Could not find a part of the path '/var/lib/emby-server/root/default/Movies'." Any clues how to fix it ? Thx Hi Chudak, I dig around the same trouble here.... some configuration files point to /var/lib/emby and some /var/lib/emby-server, etc.... The best way I was able to fix that, was to make a symbolic link to /var/lib/emby, so what ever configuration file point to, it will get there!

TheBrainninja 0 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Hey Chudak- FWIW - I got the exact same original error you were getting after I removed the deprecated repo v3.3 and installed the active RPM v3.4. The key for me was to do four things: 1. Rename /var/lib/emby-server to /var/lib/emby. 2. Remove 3.3 completely then install 3.4 from the RPM. 3. Change the owner of all my media folders to emby. 4. Remove each library then re-add it. Now, note: When I hit OK after adding my new library with my existing folders, it usually gave me an error that said it had some problem adding the library. However.... The library is there. Just back out to the main Library screen and hit Refresh. You'll notice your newly added library. Then run a full library scan. Mine is just about done but it seems to be doing good so far in that I won't have to manually modify things that I had painstakingly modified. God bless the Backup plugin! Regarding selection saving, you may want to try doing that after you run a full, complete and successful library scan. You won't see an OK/Save button at the bottom in the dialog but it saves the settings for me now after I back out of it when that library's scan was complete. -gabe UPDATE: Scan is complete and things are looking better than I thought. Only thing I am noticing so far is that the metadata changes I made (custom photos, character name corrections, etc.) didn't stick. But that doesn't have me too worried. I'll just handle those as they come up on a case-by-case basis. Custom artwork (like logos) and themes are still there. Okay so, I have some questions about this, as I also have a lot of custom definitions in my various libraries - are you adding new libraries while your old libraries still exist? Or how are you not losing your custom definitions? My understanding is that the backup utility doesn't back up library definitions at all. I believe I am having the exact same issue as you, and I've done every step other than re-creating my libraries on my own. I just want to make sure before I break something worse than it already is! Edit: I added a second instance of one of my libraries, and it had the same content/metadata as the first. I removed the first library, and then the second lost all of its associations! Very disheartening. The new library scans correctly and lets me modify its settings (real-time monitoring ahoy), but...I have a lot of work to do to get it back where I need it.

Servman 1 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) I have the same issue with emby and the web GUI after upgrading to the new version, will the upgrade be like this from now on or change back to the repo? And it sounds like the best way to fix this is a fresh install, so annoying and I just finished a fresh new install of my media server. I think that better communication would have been better, in future. Edited May 18, 2018 by Servman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 We will be continuing to publish the standalone .deb packages. We may at some point setup a repository for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenwryly 6 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 For anyone who was using the old OpenSUSE APT repository and would like to keep using APT to keep their Emby server's up to date, I've built a simple utility that builds a simple APT repository from the official Emby *.deb releases.

Luke 37095 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 No, it looks runtime related, but the next release has updated to .NET Core 2.1 so we can re-evaluate with that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you have any issues. If you really want to help others out it might be a good idea to start a whole new topic with this apt repository thing and give brief instruction on how to use it. Something with a title of how to update from emby 3.3* to newer release. If this works well it might be good for emby to make it a sticky and or part of official instruction. I have not used it so i cant say much on it but it seems like it might eliminate some confusion and headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37095 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is not an Emby issue. Do you want to know why it shows up a lot? Because it's a hard feature for both mono and the .NET Core runtime to support. Particularly on FreeBSD and MacOS, you will find lots of search results due to defects in the Mono runtime over the years with the file system monitor. You will also find the same situation with some Linux distros as well, although not to the same extent as FreeBSD and MacOS. I am sorry that you feel this is an Emby problem.
