Metadata do not change after editing them

[nikolasd 0]

I have emby 3.5.3.0 on OpenMediaVault with the Debian package.

 

I have recently found out, that after I edit some metadata on my files, those metadata do not show up on emby.

 

For instance I have a home movie, where I have added the persons on this movie. I update metadata of the movie from Metadata manager, I click on save, but the metadata does not change. The strange thing is that the nfo file is updated with the info I have added, but emby server keeps showing the old info.

 

Is there some logic explanation on that peculiar behavior?

Hi, what exactly do you mean by metadata does not change? Thanks.

Let's say I have a video named Summer Vacation 2018. I open the metadata manager to edit the metadata for this file. On People, I add Person A, Person B and I Save. I do the same to several other videos. After I check back the Summer Vacation 2018 video, there are no People under the People section of the metadata. But, the nfo file has the person section as it should. I restart the server, I delete the nfo file and refresh metadata, but I still cannot see the edit. It seems like the edit is not persistent.

Can you try running a library scan? thanks.

I did try a library scan. More than once.

 

I finally deleted the library and recreated it. Since everything was on nfo files the library updated as it should. From my research I guess it had to do something with an inconsistency between the db and the actual data.

Ok, please try this again with the next release of emby server. Thanks.
