edencorbin 4 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 My playlists keep losing tracks. I think it might be becoase I have moved files around in my music folder, but I'm not certain. Does emby have no way of relocating lost files? Seems like that would be an awesome feature. Specifically I had so much music I put all my songs in alphabetical folders to help with folder browsing. All the music is still detected but my playlists blew up, even still have photos (emby generated with a few of the album covers) but not all the tracks. Any know issues or planned features around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8144 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Playlists and Collections list the absolute path in their xml files. So when you move media around these xml files no longer match where the media is. Currently you have to manually update the Playlist or Collection xml files. <PlaylistItems> <PlaylistItem> <Path>C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Movies - nfo\2 fast 2 furious\2 fast 2 furious.disc</Path> </PlaylistItem> </PlaylistItems> <CollectionItems> <CollectionItem> <Path>C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Multi Version Library\12 Rounds (2009)\12 Rounds (2009) - 1080p.disc</Path> </CollectionItem> <CollectionItem> <Path>C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Multi Version Library\12 Rounds 2, Reloaded (2013)\12 Rounds 2, Reloaded (2013) - 1080p.disc</Path> </CollectionItem> <CollectionItem> <Path>C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Multi Version Library\12 Rounds 3, Lockdown (2015)\12 Rounds 3, Lockdown (2015) - 1080p.disc</Path> </CollectionItem> </CollectionItems> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That's correct, although if you use your own .m3u playlists, the server will save those with relative paths when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edencorbin 4 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Cool, if I was to try to fix my xml files I would probably try to script it, checking for a files existence at a given path and if not found searching some root directory. An automatic find for missing files is a feature request I would like to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
