ebr 14913 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Saving them elsewhere is not going to give you the benefit of always having them properly connected even if you build a new server or move the media items. Personally, I do not consider metadata directly related to the media "junk". It is very valuable to save that information there so that we don't have to hammer the free metadata providers for it again unnecessarily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmafia007 12 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 but it is possible ? because want to save them in the same folder no problem ,but instead the art work to be spread all over ,i want to create a new folder named"Media" in my Action Movies folder let's say ,and then all the data to be saved there .. how can i configured that ? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansblackcat 37 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I don't think you can have separate medadata folders. I think if you created a 'media' folder in action movies then all data (all movies, tv shows etc) will be saved there. I could be wrong. Honestly I highly recommend saving .nfo and images into the respective movie folders. It barely clutters them up and you'll be happier in the long run. As mentioned by ebr, if you ever need to build a new server or do a clean install you'll find it much easier and a lot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You You have a choice of with media or in the servers \metadata location (default or custom path). But that path can not be part of any library path.

ebr 14913 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 At this point I would cancel both of those tasks. Then change some of the options we suggested and then re-start your server and start a new library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmafia007 12 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 did that 48 hours ago ..exactly what u said ..so no need i think btw do u see something in the logs ?errors?all good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It looks like you installed a ton of plug-ins that could be having an impact as well. GenreCleaner, Statistics, Trakt, Theme videos, several subtitle providers - which appear to be doing searches and failing And you've got an image extraction task running - kill that it is extremely expensive. And there is playback activity and other things going on as well during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmafia007 12 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Do u know what the image extraction task does ? i need to run it?or only after the scan is finished? thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The task creates your Chapter/interval images depending on your per library Thumbnail Images settings. Ideally your should allow your library scan to finish. I personally disable the option per library until after initial scan has finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I recently moved my entire server from my PC to my NAS, at which time I had roughly 16TB of files. I disabled every task on the Scheduled Tasks page, disabled thumbnail creation, disabled real time monitoring, disabled subtitle downloads. Moved everything over, then scanned. It still took hours. Once that was done I ran the thumbnail task and turned thumbnail creation and real time monitoring back on in the libraries. Since I'm only adding one title at a time now that's still manageable.

bugmafia007 12 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I did all of the above .. 1.removed the subs apps ,genrecleaner and trackt is not relevant becuase is not configured 2.No more image extraction (disabled ) 3.no more playback .. But because we are all technical , please i will like to know how the apps installed (that dont do nothing besides http requests ) is affecting the scan ? my computer is a monster (16 cores \64 gb ram\1 tb M2 corsair (5000k r\w \quadro p2200) and 1 gb\1gb intenet ... so how that hardware and bandwidth is not enough to finish a scan in more than 56 hours ? what's the code difference between emby and plex ? how plex is capable to to the same movies(2000-3000) in 10 min and emby still didnt finished in 56 hours ? what logs i need to provide for someone to take a look and point me were is the problem ?because we understand that something is not working good ..and is not my computer or my internet ..

Carlo 4330 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Uninstall GenreCleaner, Statistics, Trakt, Theme videos, several subtitle providers - which appear to be doing searches and failing as advised for diagnostic purposes by ebr. Emby does a much more in depth scan of files at scan time vs plex who will do a quickscan then later go back and look at every file. Overall the Emby process when configured correctly is much faster and thorough as well as configurable. It's taking a long time due to timeouts in requests that aren't completing quickly likely due to unconfigured plugins. Let concentrate on meat and potatoes to get your files scanned in properly before adding plugins on top. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugmafia007 12 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 now i will do that also ..so lets wait 8-12 hours more ..and maybe after if u can , advice me or check again the logs on how to fix my issue ,, Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) . ps:i have 1GB\1GB internet .. Internet speed is irrelevant as you can only make so many requests to the provider apis is x amount of time before they will cut you off. Big difference with Plex is they run there own providers mirror servers also from what I hear. But is is normal for scans to take this long, but everyone's setup and structure is different so times will always very.

bugmafia007 12 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) But my installation and configurations are default for my EMBY .. The only plugins i install is the subs one ,statistics ,coverart and fantv ... And i removed almost most of them now ... So wait a second ,from what your saying doesn't matter if your computer or internet is high or low ...to be able to add 2000 movies u need to wait more than 3 days ? lool What needs to be done to be faster ,new code ?new servers ?like plex ? But emby premiere cost same like plex ? so the money goes in plex for servers lest say ..and in EMBY goes for ? How a new user that worked with plex for the last 8 years ..and uses EMBY for only 3 days can get a positive feedback and say WOOWOW Emby is a game changer ? Dont get me wrong EMBY is like 10 year in the future from PLEX old and slow software (functionality and visual ) ..but still to be able to enjoy my movies in EMBY i need to wait more than 3 days ? I cannot explain that ... I love so much the EMBY software,but im a heavy user..soon i need to add another 8000 movies(my full bluray collection that right now is doing convert to mkv ) What will be then ?8000 movies need to wait 1 month ?

Happy2Play 8282 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Pros and Cons on either side of the coin. All my media metadata and images with media so all Emby has to do is probe for mediainfo and read existing metadata. Around a a day and a half. 6500+ movies 800+ Series Now if I were to get everything from the internet again I would expect about a week. I don't see it being possible for the other guys to do it in minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
