Backups dumping to Media Library; Playlists reading from it

[nstephenh 3]

Hello!

I'm having an issue where a second backup is being generated of my server, in one of my media directories. Normally this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but as it backs up my playlists, it then finds this playlist and lists it in my playlist list. I'd like to not have any duplicate playlists, so when I go to edit one I won't end up with different ones. 

 

 

 

The unwanted backup is timestamped at a different time at by the os than the wanted backup.

 

Please let me know if there's anything else that would help you diagnose this.

Hi, do you need to store the backups there? Can you configure it to store them elsewhere that is not part of your media library?

I am confused how "/mnt/Storage/Backups/Emby Backups" is being read in libraries.

 

As for the libraries Movies and TV look like they have monitoring errors.

OT:  I would recommend disabling automatic Port Mapping if you do not use it, it will reduce some of the error logging.

Also confused by that, that's the problem...

Fixed monitoring errors and disabled upnp, thanks for the suggestions.

Luke, the backups are configured in the plugin to store in "/mnt/Storage/Backups/Emby Backups". Additionally, they're also being dumped to my media library (not wanted) at /mnt/Storage/TV/Backup/.

 

 

I'm currently running v 4.3.1 as that's the latest that is available for freebsd (as far as I can tell)

 

EDIT: Just restarted, triggered a backup manually though the ui, and it didn't dump it to my medial folder. So we'll see what happens tonight but the issue may have got away.

This is where the backup is getting copied to:

That's what you're expecting, right?

Yes, but the playlist was still being duplicated. I came up with a solution: I dumped the playlist to my tv directory, then deleted it from "playlists", so it wouldn't be backed up. Coincidentally it stopped backing up to the TV directory after this. Don't know why. But it works now.

I believe this still comes down to configuration. If you'd like to get to the bottom of it then @@cayars can jump on a teamviewer and try to look at what's happening.

@@nstephenh send me a PM if this is something you would like to do.  I'd be very happy to take a look and assist you.
