Scan Library Erroring Out

[Natilus13 10]

I recently had to rebuild my file server and as such had to remap my folders for TV on emby. I am try to run a scan to update things, but it keeps getting to around 90% and failing. This is the error message I get:

 

 

 

Scan media library failed

Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

 

Thanks,

HI there, please attach the complete emby server log. thanks.

Thanks @@Luke. Just sent you a PM with a link to grab my log (it was too big to include in the message).

You could restart the server to start a new log, perform a library scan and post that log.  Or run the rotate logs task and perform scan.

Thanks @@Happy2Play. I'll give that a shot now.

So I finally got a scan to complete. I had to reboot the server a few times, but each time the scan made it a little farther. The scan did take a long time. It would move at the regular speed until about 90% and then take a long time to error out. Each time the scan made it a little farther though, until it finally completed.

What happens if you run it again now?

[Natilus13 10]

It appears to be running correctly now. I added a number of new files last night and did not have any errors. The scan is in the process of running again now, and I anticipate that it will also finish without issue. 

[Natilus13 10]

Update.... Yep, scans complete fine now without any issues.

[Luke 37029]

Thanks for the feedback.

And... it is now failing again. The failure seems to have happened when I had to remap some of my network shares due to a network issue. I have since corrected the issue and mapped the shares back to what they were originally. Once again the scans are failing, but I suspect that this will be the same as before and will eventually work after a few restarts and additional scans.

[Natilus13 10]

After a couple more failures, everything finally worked. So it seems emby just doesn't like remapping shares... although it does warm up to the change eventually 

[Luke 37029]

If you're using network shares mapped to a windows drive letter, I wouldn't do that and instead use the original share path instead.

[Natilus13 10]

The shares are coming from a Windows box, but the server runs on macOS. I have some sort of DNS issue that I have not been able to resolve, so I had to mount the shares based on IP. When I had some cabling in my wall short out, I had to switch to Wi-Fi (which gave me a different IP), so I had to re-mount the shares using the new IP, and Emby just stuggled a bit with that it would seem.

 

Everything is back to normal now though :-)
