So you removed the drive the data was stored on, and were then surprised when it didn't show up?

its ok , plex dosent remove my libs just because i unplug a drive , and yeah , its cause me a surprise , emby is useless for me if it work that way

What's the point of having items in your library if you've disconnected the drive?

what's the point of erasing data because of a disconnected drive?

if i disconnect my drive , my movie are still here , its not erased , i can connect it on demand

have you ever see another piece of software who erase libs when drive disconect?

Why would the server display files that don't exist?

That is what a schedule scan does.  If media is no longer available it is removed from the database during scans.  So everything needs to be available to be maintained in the Emby database.  There isn't really a offline mode to maintain everything you may have ever scanned into Emby.

Yes I have seen several media manager software programs that remove items when they are no longer available.
