cayars 1255 Posted August 15 Make sure the path as shown in the picture is also added to your recording library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cayars 1255 Posted August 16 Can you show us what the library section looks like for the Recording library? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cayars 1255 Posted August 16 There is one difference between the two with one having the trailing "/". While I'm not sure it's going to make a difference you could copy it from the place it's working to the other location so that are exactly the same and then do a refresh. Easy enough to test.

Carlo I'll give that a shot. By "refresh" you mean a server restart? -- Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 1255 Posted August 16 Sorry, what I meant by refresh was a "Scan Library Files". Basically rescan the Recording library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Netfool 8 Posted August 16 @cayars Well, that didn't fix the problem, but it did automagically create another Recordngs Library! The time has come the Netfool said, To speak of many things. Of bits... and bytes.. and memory leaks, and servers killed by high load peaks. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion something in the deep dark center of the server is tied in knots, and we could go down this rabbit hole forever. The initial installation of Emby Server on the Shield took less time than we've spent chasing just this one problem. I'm deeply grateful for the immense amount of time and effort everyone has spent guiding me through this troubleshooting adventure. The Emby support team rocks! But I think I'll try removing the apk and starting over, with the added help of that "Things I wish I knew..." post so I don't remake all the same mistakes.

cayars 1255 Posted August 16 If one of the Recording folders is now correct you should be able to remove the wrong one. Does either now show all the files? Nothing wrong with starting over if you really want to do that. It will give you a clean setup and it's always easier the second time around to install as well!

Well... the newly spawned one which is a Mixed Content library does, the older one which had a tvshows.collection file before the last db rebuild doesn't but the one I originally created (called Live TV Recordings on the home page and Live TV DVR in the dashboard Library page) also has a tvshows.collection file and it does show them. ...and the ._tvshows "subtitle" on the dashboard Library page looks weird for some of them: ...but don't let all of this distract you from the problem that led us down this path: The Recordings heading in the Live TV view came up empty... and it still does: See what I mean by a rabbit hole?

cayars 1255 Posted August 16 Yes I do and if there are files in that location they should show up. Option number 2 not looking so bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now I'm adding a drive to the media store. I'll switch the family to the Emby server on the (underpowered) Linux box while I try a total reinstall. I'm sure I'll be back with new questions and new adventures. Many thanks for all the help! -- Richard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
