IkeTaylor11 60 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Can you please re-start the server with the new library path setup, then run a library scan and post that server log? log attached embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Movies Library is completely empty when I open the web app. There is no "Latest Movies" either. Is Emby not capable of working with a proxy either?

ebr 14958 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Do you have the option to group items into collections enabled in your movie view? If so, try disabling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkeTaylor11 60 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Do you have the option to group items into collections enabled in your movie view? If so, try disabling it. I can't find that option anywhere. I tried on the library itself and also looking in the library on the web app. Where do I find that option to disable it? Edit: If i set the path back to E:\Movies they all show up in the web app. Every movie already has an nfo file and artwork since I set this all up on a PC that had internet access previously. So even though the computer I am on now can't get to the internet, Emby should still load the artwork already stored in the movies directory.

Luke 37230 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Wow, so glad I stumbled across this topic. This is game changing for me, thanks for including this with Emby. Setup was as easy as regular Emby and if you are saying this does not need to be the same drive letter when I switch computers it just made my life on the road so easy. Yes the portable version is available on our website and you can put it anywhere you like. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option is in the view you are actually in in the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8351 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) I don't know of a easy way if the library path is changing (drive letter) when plugged into different system. As paths (drive letters) are all relative to the system you plugged into, and there is no guarantee the same drive letter will be available on every system. Each system will remember the drive letter if you assign one on each machine. I would assume a script can be made and place one the portable drive, then you run in on every machine you plug the device it to ensure the same drive letter is used, assuming that drive letter is available. Since the drive will be the same as the Emby server, wouldn't just a rooted path reference always work regardless of the drive letter...? e.g. \media\movies Testing this "\Movies" I see it works via the log "Info LibraryMonitor: Watching directory A:\Movies", "MovieDbProvider: Finding id for item: 12 Rounds" But nothing appear within the library. But either way a drive letter is written to the database so every time the drive letter changes the library have issues. But I guess a Rescan would clear and reimport with the new letter. Why is media not in the UI as it appear in the database? Edited June 11, 2019 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I am seeing as well. Nothing shows up in the library even though the logs say the media was found. If this could be resolved then drive letter shouldn't matter and the portable installation to me would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The drive letter of the library will matter. If that changes, you'll need to update emby library setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8351 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The drive letter of the library will matter. If that changes, you'll need to update emby library setup. But one is able to use "\movies" for example like @@ebr suggested and everything is imported into the database but the UI does not show the media.

He did suggest it, and in theory it makes sense, but no specific support has ever been developed for this, nor have i ever tested. Therefore I can't predict what the result will be right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14958 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm not sure why the media doesn't show in the UI but, Happy, you are correct that, since the system is deriving a drive letter from the relative path and storing the item that way, the item IDs would not match up if that drive letter changed. Perhaps that is also why the media is not showing in the UI... In any case, I guess this is not a valid approach. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayoul 1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I know it's an old post but I found a solution to have the good path of folders whatever the drive letter is. I use a simple bath file placed at root of the usb key with "Subst R: ." that mount virtually the drive at R letter and then launch Emby server with "start R:\system\embyserver.exe". The media path is, with that, always the same. With batch to exe you can pimp this script with Emby icon! Advantage of Subst command : it works in user mod (for non admin!)
