rkirchhof 1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 G:\TV Shows only contains TV Shows. Its content type is TV Shows. The Les Miserables folder may not be a good one for us to work with since I've been manually creating folders and renaming files in an effort to get Emby to see it. In any case I've deleted all of the Les Mis content and forced Sonarr to reacquire the released episodes. (Did you see the DIR and Tree attachments from the earlier posts?) Here's a screen shot of Magnum PI. It's one of the ones not showing up in the Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 @@rkirchhofNothing is standing out as I dropped your posted tvshow.nfo file in a folder named Magnum P.I. with a dummy episode and it was recognized. I have never experience something just not showing up at all. Do any of the missing Shows show up in the Metadata Manager or in the TV Shows-Folder tab? Would you mind adding me to the PM you sent.

rkirchhof 1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I can't get Emby to issue an API key for anything? I go to Expert>Advanced>Security hit Plus Sign give a name and NOTHING happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkirchhof 1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm sorry. It took awhile to populate. It's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Missing media appears to be there in the few I checked. One issue you may run into is sonar's nfo files (I assume they are sonar nfo files) as you are depending on them and not having Emby rewrite them. Option is disabled per library.

Luke 37058 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Are all the shows showing up now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkirchhof 1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Good Morning all, So Happy2Play and I worked on this till past 11 last night. By the time we were done we concluded that it could not be a server problem persay, BC he (Using an account I creayed for Luke) could see everything. All 63 shows! I went to bed puzzeled and confused BC every client (Emby for Xbox one, Samsung TV, Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, Edge, Apple IPhone) I have access to is only displaying the same 53 shows, and yes it was the same 10 shows missing in every case. So this morning I had an idea and I logged on using the Luke account and Voilà everything is present! So I don't know how or why but some of my accounts are screwed up permissions wise. Remember, I have set no filters or parental restraints. Anyhow using the Luke account I deleted and recreated my account. (The account used on all my clients.) and although I haven't checked everywhere, the browser I'm using here at work and on my server at home are now displaying all 53 shows and 562 movies. Thank you Luke and Happy2Play for all the time you spent with me on this. I didn't recreate all of the accounts. I have at least one that's not seeing everything. I'd like to figure out why and see if it can be fixed without deleting and recreating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkirchhof 1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Okay, I confirmed that removing and reapplying the permissions does seem to correct the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is a weird one as it was a item issue not a library issue. Okay, I confirmed that removing and reapplying the permissions does seem to correct the issue. What do you mean by this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37058 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I think he means that permissions on the various series folders prevented the server from being able to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkirchhof 1 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I went to the user library access settings and uncheck all libraries saved and rechecked all libraries and saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I went to the user library access settings and uncheck all libraries saved and rechecked all libraries and saved. That is extremely odd but glad it working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new account I created for you saw everything, yet most of my older accounts didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawtyne10 1 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 TLDR... I had missing movies on my emby server, but was still able to find them when searching through emby. I deleted my user account and recreated it and they immediately showed back up in the main movie display. Thanks for the great info above. This was on emby 4.6.4.0 I just had a similar issue with missing movies on my emby server. The missing movies were specifically movies I accidentally had duplicates of. I deleted the duplicate and then both movies disappeared from my movies list. I was still able to search the movies and find them but would not display on main screens. they also still showed up in the "collections" list but not in the basic movies list. I deleted all meta data in the folder structure and rescanned the movie library multiple times. meta data would re-populate but would still not display the movies on the main screen. I also could still find the movies in the metadata manager and all file links were accurate. I was pulling my hair out and almost did a clean install. I read the posts above, deleted all user accounts. created a new account and voila they all reappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever used the Server Configuration Backup plugin and restored users/userdata? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
