paulsalter 84 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Few things to check See if there are any tvshow.nfo files, these should be in the main show folder and one of them could still point to ip man Also check one of the episode nfo files, within this it should have the show name, ip man might be in here Not sure how to fix these as you mentioned identify doesnt work If this was me i would probably go for a more drastic route (get rid of any rogue metadata that might be around) Move the media out of the library Run a library scan in Emby to make sure it's gone Shutdown Emby Copy the media back to the library folders Search the media for any nfo files and delete them Start Emby and let it scan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 739 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 As far as i can tell, this is what happens You have your tv shows in H:\TV Series When you record Amanpour, Plex stores this in H:\TV Series\.grab (while it is being recorded) Emby is monitoring this folder as it's part of the tv library, so it tries to match .grab as the tv show, and Amanpur as an episode of this, causing bad matching/missing metadata When Plex is finished recording, it copies this file to the correct location (unfortunately Emby has already matched it wrongly, so bad metadata remains) I have tested with similar issues on mine, and turning off auto scan fixes it (unless a recording is in progress at the time of scan) An ideal fix would be if Emby could ignore folders starting with . during a scan, so it would not try and match untill the episodes get moved to the correct location Hope that makes sense Makes perfect sense. It least I'm not the only one here and it is shown to be repeatable. Inside the .grab folder is merely tvshow.nfo right now. What do you use to open / view an .nfo file? I'm trying to see what is inside this file. This is why I'm thinking carefully timed folder scans can certainly help. Also some sort of script to move these files to yet another TV Series directory sans the .grab file. It seems that a tiny bit of code in Emby to exclude .grab would fix the issue. Either that or a native CommSkip built into Emby DVR? What do you think @@Luke? Thanks! @@Luke Is it possible to have Emby ignore the .grab folder on scans? Thanks.

Sammy 739 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 It is in the new release 3.5.0.0. So I went to check my Emby to see what version it was on and it wouldn't load via the web. I then remoted into the machine it is running on and it wouldn't load there either. Currently downloading the installation package from the downloaded file on the emby.media/downloads page.. That has completed and now doing a restart to update a stack of plugins. Hmm. Let's see what's new here. Is there a change log with all the changes to the server and to the plugins?

Happy2Play 8356 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Plugins are mostly compatibility updates.

Sammy 739 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Okay.. I have finally got 3.5.0.0 to get going after a complete library scan.. The IpMan series is still there but I suspect that in the future it won't add more to it (Fingers Crossed). That said, I now have a series in Emby, IpMan that has some 231 episodes in it that are Plex recordings. How to fix this? Do I have to go through each one and change something in the metadata? Each episode seems to have correct information but they are in this fictitious "IpMan" series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 739 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I just saw this in the github server change log: Linux & Mac: Ensure all folders beginning with a dot are ignored So this isn't in the Windows Server yet. Is this why Emby will continue to look at the .grab folder within TV Series and create this erroneous Ip Man Series with Plex Recordings? Come on Comskip in Emby!!!

Sammy 739 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I know you're probably busy with all the demands of the 3.5.0.0 roll out but is my library set up in such a way that Emby can read it? I think it is because under this Ip Man "Series" exists all Plex Recorded TV Shows and they are identified, including air date, episode number and episode description {such as guests (Jimmy Kimmel / Cobert) or recipes(Mexico One Plate at a Time)}. Thanks. I'd like to kill Ip Man once and forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy 739 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 @@Happy2Play Here are more screen grabs. There's no metadata here unless it is in the nfo file. Plex, like Emby, stores the metadata in a dedicated folder. This library is set up in Emby Server > Libraries as a TV Series Library. This grab also shows the folder structure inside the folder itself. AFAIK, this is the correct convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
