slyfox 42 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I am in a process of moving my libraries from NAS to Mac mini. I have about 25 libraries and it is a pain in the *** to update the location of each library. Can you please add a simple way to bulk edit libraries to update locations?

slyfox 42 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Settings - Library - Advanced - Edit Libraries Location Plain Text Entires - Each library on its own line. Copy and paste to TextEdit - Find and Replace entires Paste back into Emby. Click save and rescan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 And that would update every item in the database some how? You can technically do this all manually off line by updating library paths in /root/default and updating the database manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please provide more details on "/root/default" where would this be found on a Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the Emby programdata folder. You should see the general path via the Dashboard Paths box or in the to section of a log. But updating the the <PathInfos> in the libraries option.xml still requires manual update in the database or all items will be purged do to database containing a item with a old path that does not exist any more.
