nuentes 33 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have several drives pooled into a single library. I have tags added for several shows and I use parental controls to filter them from view for certain accounts in Emby. However, when new episodes for these shows begin downloading onto a different drive, the episodes on the newer drive show up in Emby. Can anything be done about this?

Luke 37114 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi, should it show up? Is the newer drive part of your emby library? how did you set it up in emby library setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 This is in my TV library, which has 6 folders added. I only have one library for TV items. Both file paths/drives are within this same library. I had added the tag for the series about a month ago. And now when I pull up the series (which has begun it's 9th season), I only see Season 9 available, and there are no tags added for this series. On my 2nd profile which does not have this series removed, the series shows up correctly as all 9 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Then it sounds like there has to be a parental control setting at play here. Try going to the user access settings and removing all blocked tags, and then see if that restores it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I don't think so. Here is the nfo file for the series in the folder for seasons 1-8, and here is the nfo file in the series folder where season 9 is. You can see the tag plainly in the first one, but the tag is not getting generated for this new download path. The season 9 nfo file was created automatically by emby.

Luke 37114 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I would still suggest removing the blocked tags from the user as a test. parental control is most likely the only explanation here. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I removed the parental controls for the user. Then checked this shows metadata, and the tag is not appearing. It does show all 8 seasons that are on drive 1, plus the current 9th season which is on drive 2. So it has correctly put all the episodes together, but did not merge the tags. I reapplied the parental control, and there is no change from before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What do you mean did not merge the tags? What is supposed to be merged? I don't quite follow. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Sorry - went on vacation. Â When I said it did not merge the tags - what I meant was that Emby created and NFO file for the show on the new drive. This new NFO file does not have the tag that is contained for this exact same series on the other drive. So when emby looked at these two paths, it merged the two series into one. However, upon merging the two series, it did not merge the tags (1 tag in 1 location, 0 tags in the other). Â Also, I don't know why emby created an NFO file that didn't have the tag in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Â Â Also, I don't know why emby created an NFO file that didn't have the tag in the first place. Â What do you mean exactly? The nfo file will write whatever tags you see in Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 As I explained, I had seasons 1-8 on one drive. There was a series-level NFO file with tags in this series folder. Some time later, season 9 began downloading to a separate drive. Emby created a series-level NFO file for this folder as well. This NFO file does not contain the tags that are in the seasons 1-8 NFO file. I provided both of these NFO files earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What do you mean "does not contain the tags"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Here is the nfo file for the series in the folder for seasons 1-8, and here is the nfo file in the series folder where season 9 is. You can see the tag plainly in the first one (seasons 1-8), but the tag did not get added to the nfo file in this new download path (season 9). The season 9 nfo file was created automatically by emby at a time where seasons 1-8 already had the tag added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 What tag are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 If you would open the NFO files, you would see that one NFO file has a single tag "filter-andre", and the other NFO file has no tag field at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37114 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Right OK. the series grouping feature currently only applies at the display level. It's not intended to synchronize the metadata between the two series folders. It's possible to consider looking at that in the future, but that's not what it does today.
