Veggav 8 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I need some help figuring this out. I run an unraid server at home1 with my router as a OpenVPN tunnel so I can connect to my home network. This is running an emby server using the emby unraid docker. At my Home2, I have a Windows 10 PC that I have installed Emby server and I connect to my Home1 VPN network to be able to access my files. At Home2, I set my library to \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\library And I'm also setting the metadata to \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\appdata\binhex-emby\metadata\ When adding the library to my windows 10 server I uncheck all the boxes so it doesn't download anything. So why it's not using the metadata provided by the server? It takes sometime to scan everything and it seems it's downloading everything all over again. Just to add some more info that maybe help someone to point out what I'm doing wrong: This is on my Windows 10 server side: Paths Cache: \\192.168.0.198\appdata\binhex-emby\cache\ Logs: C:\Users\Bahamut\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\logs Metadata: \\192.168.0.198\appdata\binhex-emby\metadata\ Transcoding temporary files: C:\Users\Bahamut\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\transcoding-temp This on unraid side: Paths Cache: /config/cache Logs: /config/logs Metadata: /config/metadata Transcoding temporary files: /config/transcoding-temp Logs show Emby is probing the entire library again. Shouldn't it be ready to go since I pointed the remote library, the remote cache and remote metadata? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veggav 8 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 We haven't fully tested doing this type of thing. Ok, can you clear something out for me? I'm wondering if a workaround to this would be possible with the backup and restore plugin. I'm not yet decided on Emby yet so I haven't purchased the premiere subscription. But if this could work this would be a really sweet: Have a perfectly running emby server, back it up. Go to another server, restore. Just change the path to point out the same library or a copy of it, it can even be a cloud service, and it would avoid a complete new scan. Am I'm wondering this correctly? Can I take all the images, metadata, etc from one server to another and a avoid a complete new scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The backup plugin will transfer just about everything except for the actual database, so you will still need to run a library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8278 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @@Luke Won't there be a issue with metadata\library as each server will have different ids for each item, and each server will be deleting the others information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If all paths are exactly the same it may work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
