Am reinstalling Emby on a new SSD. I did a backup from the previous installation and now I've just told it to restore the old info that was saved. So far it created pretty much three of everything under My Media. Should I worry or should I just wait till it finishes its scan and see what develops ?

Did you click the restore button three times?

[arrbee99]

Erm. Don't think so. Maybe possibly twice. Don't think there was any kind of acknowledgement that it was restoring or doing anything after I told it to restore so might have clicked it again.

 

Sorry to be so vague.

Oh well, they're still there. I have 3 My Media entries for Movies, TV, Documentaries etc, and of course further down 3 x Latest Movies, 3 x Latest Music etc linked to only one library entry for each one.

 

Any thoughts - chuck out library.db and try again ?

Are the folders added multiple time to each library (Dashboard-Library)?  What is in the options.xml for each library (\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default\eachlibrary)

[arrbee99]

Everything listed under Libraries has 3 entries under My Media. e.g. one Documentaries library > 3 My Media entries

 

Not sure what to look for in an options.xml

 

e.g. for Collections...
