After moving portable install - scanning library fails

[cow666 6]

Hi All

 

Installed the portable version of emby server on my existing server - I'm virtualising Emby and moved the install to the new VPC. Read the instructions on how to do this and upon running the initial library scan it fails immediately.

 

The portable install was deployed to the D drive of my old server but has been moved to C on the new box.. however the log file shows that Emby is still looking for a D: drive during some part of the scan.

Can someone tell me where the  D:\embyserver-win\programdata\root\default\xxx path is coming from and if I can edit it to set the correct drive letter?

I believe in the library.db.  If you have a older installation, there were database updates to resolve this on new installations that change the path

 

old way

C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Portable Stable\programdata\root\default\Unset

new way

%RootFolderPath%\default\Unset

Depending on how you store your metadata, if with media you can delete the library.db and allow it to rebuild.  Or use a DB tool and edit the database directly.  Emby has to be shutdown to edit the db.

 

\Portable\programdata\data\library.db
