JBEmby 0 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hey all, I just did a hardware upgrade on my media server and ran into a bit of a snag. For some odd reason, Emby is adding extras for all my movies as their own titles in the library. Not sure why as I have followed the proper folder structure and this was working fine for several years up until I re-added my library folders. I've followed advice someone else posted on another thread and put just the movie in the library folder, scanned the library, then added my extras folder (after deleting the associated .nfo files, of course) but it seems the software is insistent on not cooperating, and my library looks like this after several hours of wracking my brains: For the moment I'm just trying to make one movie work before copying all 800 of them back in. Hopefully I'm just overlooking something simple here. In case you ask, I'm running server version 4.4.3.0 on Linux Mint 19.3. Thanks in advance.

Luke 37060 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi there, how have you named and organized the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBEmby 0 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 For this one it's \Movies\2001; A Space Odyssey (1969)\ \Movies\2001; A Space Odyssey (1969)\2001; A Space Odyssey (1969)-1080p.mkv \Movies\2001; A Space Odyssey (1969)\Featurettes\Vision of a Future Passed.mkv \Movies\2001; A Space Odyssey (1969)\Featurettes\2001; A Space Odyssey - Criterion "Standing on the Shoulders of Kubrick; The Legacy of 2001.mkv etc. Pretty bog-standard stuff. My entire library is organized in this manner (I have some movies with a Deleted Scenes, Behind the Scenes, etc folder as well) and it worked as expected until I moved my drives over to the new machine. The old one was also running the same release of Emby Server, for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not positive but with Linux being case sensitive have you tried lower case "featurettes"? I know testing what you provided above works on Windows without issue on 4.4.3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37060 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 What is the content type of the library in emby library setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBEmby 0 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 It's set up as a standard movie library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBEmby 0 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 ACK! Think I figured it out. Apparently I forgot to set the mount options for my media drives (both of which are formatted as NTFS). I set them to mount on start-up and it automagically started working as expected again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniliQuid 85 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Running into this same issue all of a sudden (even though I already had extras, and putting them in the extras folders inside the movie folder never created issues before) Added some fresh ones and even though they are in the extras or featurettes folder, they still show up as seperate movies (and emby tries to match metadata to it from other movies of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to look at an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniliQuid 85 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Movies (folder) -> moviename (folder) -> moviename (file) & extras (folder) -> extras (files) As far as I know that should follow how the wiki states (or stated) it. Or do the files need specific names as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no issue with exactly what you provided here per the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the library is old (as old as I use emby, or older), but the files are new, which is why I suddenly noticed the issue. Edit: forgetting the picture, this what you meant?

Edit: forgetting the picture, this what you meant? If you creates a new library folder and new library with that path and moved the move 300 into that new folder do you get the same results? But I can not reproduce with specific info provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniliQuid 85 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Well strangely enough, after redoing all my libraries, or actually just removing all folders, then restoring the folders solved this problem. The files didn't change, but for some reason everything was now identified properly I guess. Had a failing disk, so I had to remove it, build a new pool and put all items back from the back-up, and after doing that it was solved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
