annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi guys, picked up an M2 drive for transcoding purposes and there's plenty of room leftover. Would it be wise to move the server cache location here and if so should I cut/paste from my current cache location or just change it over and let Emby populate it ? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Does anybody know what will happen ? I want to move my cache folder but all hesitant if it's going to screw everything up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi, you can change this without having to worry about copying the existing files over, although you can do that if you want. It doesn't really matter. As far as whether or not it will improve performance, I guess that largely depends on the I/O performance of the cache drive vs. the drive that emby server is installed on. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 423 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) You can move/delete your cache folder anytime you like without any real issues. Somethings may take a little longer to load while that cache is re-populated, but subsequent loads will be back to normal. It's not super nessesary to keep the old contents when moving it, but it wont hurt either way. /edit @@Luke jinx lol Edited July 24, 2019 by darkassassin07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 What is the exact process to repopulate an empty server cache folder ? Just a library scan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There is no process. It just happens over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Okay so it's very possible when I change my server cache folder my library is going to look pretty spotty for a while until it repopulates with all the correct images etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 No, it will look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 If I change server cache location will the old location delete itself over time or will I have to do it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 You'll need to delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annisman 13 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ok, is the default location something like: C:Users\HTPC\Appdata\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It can be found on the front page of the emby server dashboard, if you haven't already customized it. if you have then it is most likely the cache sub-folder under the folder you just mentioned.
