makarai 108 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Sure. I assume you installed Emby via the emphasized methods, so you'll find the folder /mnt/TANK/iocage/jails/emby-server/root/var/db/emby-server/data/SyncData TANK is typically refered to as the location of your zpools for me that is /mnt/evo/iocage/jails/emby-server-beta-41010_2/root/var/db/emby-server/data/SyncData Edited May 13, 2019 by makarai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it’s harder to troubleshoot and why I need those files to confirm that indeed episode updates are correctly recorded by the server plugin.

Luke 37065 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If you recall I explained this before for freebsd, the mono implementation of filesystemwatcher is not fully functional. Apparently there are community patches on freebsd ports to fix it but I have no idea what the process is to integrate those. As far as the sync process is concerned, it just means you'll have to wait for the next library scan before the events will fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well @@Drego344 I recommend you use Embycon. You’ll have a better experience, since it will pull your content in real-time, your difficulties with tv show updates being recorded won’t have any effects.
