Items was missing on library

[mnk 1]

Hi,

 

I noticed since i updated my emby server to 4.0.1.0 .

Some of my movies and episodes of TV shows were presents on the drive but missiing on the libraries.

 

I tried to rescan all libraries, and update metadatas but nothing worked.

 

To solve this problem, I delete the file "library.db" on the folder /var/lib/emby-server/data .

And after a restart all of the media files are well detected by emby but I lost the reading datas on my movies and TV shows.

 

 

For information, I am using Emby 4.0.2.0 on Centos "CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)"

For example,

 

I got a TV show "Ash vs Evil Dead (2015)" where I got 3 seasons of episodes:

But in the Emby interface, the series appears but the seasons and episodes are not displayed.

I haven't done any testing yet but could this have anything to do with the naming scheme and multi-version?  Or just a defect in the migration from 3.5? As this naming scheme appears in other topics.

Ash vs Evil Dead - 1x01 - El Jefe

If you have movies that are missing can you provide and example also.

[PenkethBoy 2063]

Just tested and can get all 10 episodes to be recognised by Emby using the OP's naming - beta server though - if there are changes that affect this

 

 

 

So i dont think its the naming style

[Happy2Play 8356]

So it points to a migration issue (that effects some) as there are several topics on missing seasons and episodes and changing something within the name, somehow makes them appear.

[PenkethBoy 2063]

Yes - i just created the folder as listed - including the year in brackets

added the Season 1 folder

and copied in the files - named without the year as the OP did

 

did have a suspicion that the year being missing might be the problem but they were found ok without it

 

unless there is a diff between windows and linux file searching/metadata lookup in emby

I think that too.

I think that successive updates have created incorrect entries in the library database.

 

To solve this, it might be interesting to set up a function, a tool that allows to check the consistency of the library database which if necessary can purge it.

Thanks for the feedback and apologies for the disruption. At least we know it is not something that will be an ongoing issue for new content. We'll try to chase down the problem with the upgrade. Thanks.
