nwickra 0 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I'm running Emby Server 3.5.3.0. My library media went missing for some reason. I tried to remove everything and re-install Emby on Docker. However, when library folders are added and scanned, it ends immediately. No media is shown. Log file is attached. Any help on this is appreciated. EmbyLog.txt Edited January 7, 2019 by nwickra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37024 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi, have you created any libraries on the new installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwickra 0 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Hi, have you created any libraries on the new installation?Yes. I created Movie, TV, Music libraries. Scanning does not do anything.Real time monitoring is enabled for libraries. Removed previous Emby config folder and image on Docker and resrarted the server computer before creating new Emby server on Docker. Thanks!

Luke 37024 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Can you show a screenshot of your libraries? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37024 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hmm, that is interesting. Can you try something, click button to add a new library as if you were going to add one, and just use the directory browser. Is the directory browser able to see folders under /mnt/share1/Movies, and the other libraries? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried with another share, /mnt/share2/ for Photos and Home Videos, and the folders under that can be browsed. Also, I can access the media folders with Samba in my windows computer. Thanks!

Luke 37024 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Ok, then i would suggest figuring out the differences in permissions between them, and once you've done that this should be resolved. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwickra 0 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Update:I removed /mnt/share1 from Docker container settings, and added again (and kept /mnt/share2). This time, I could add libraries and scan works! Luke, thanks for helping. I'd like to know the reason for this, if someone can figure it out, for future references. Edit: There were not permission differences between the folders. Just removed and added folders. Edited January 7, 2019 by nwickra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwickra 0 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Another update: This happened again. I assume the cause is not Emby, rather, UnionFS that I'm using to merge several drives, because it affects all the docker apps that use the shared folders. I found two ways to fix the issue. 1. In "shared folders", edit the drive (just re-select) and save. It resets the Media folder that I shared. 2. Use the physical folder (/srv/....) in docker to set the paths instead of "shared folders". I think this method is more robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution xontik 4 Posted March 28, 2019 Solution Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi @@Luke, After a long night of research, I finally found the solution. The issue was that my media directory appearing empty inside the emby container. I have a /media/movies directory that is populated from radarr And I have a /media/movies4k directory that is populated from a second instance of radarr I first tried to add this two directories in one library inside emby, my movies showed up but the 4k version and the 1080p version appeared as two different movies. This was an expected result as for now emby support automated grouping only inside the same folder. So I mounted an aufs volume from movies and movies4k into embymovies. Added embymovies inside a new library and that didn't work. I figured that the embymovies directory was populated correctly and merged correctly in my host filesystem but not inside emby container. Solution : mount the aufs volume before starting emby container and all work now smoothly ! Now my movies appears to be in the same folder thanks to aufs and emby automatically group them and let me choose the one that I want to playback. I hope I was clear enough , don't hesitate to ask me more details. Have a nice day ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
