mickle026 400 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Not a new bug. Its been around for ages. You have to let the library scan complete successfully before adding or deleteing any libraries, if not you'll get multiple libraries. When you set up the DVR libraries, set up ONE at a time and click only ONCE!!! If no response do not click again, close the browser, reopen and WAIT for the library scan to COMPLETE. It might take a while to even start. Set up the scond path and allow it to scan again and complete again. For each path you create it can create 3 libraries. The Main, The New TVSHows and The new TV Movies paths, There a 3 seperate threads running in the background, ALL OF THEM trying to create the libraries, thats why you can get 3 for each !!! Sometimes a total of up to 9.... There should be a test to see if it exists, and skip it in the seperate threads, but there doesn't appear to be. If it has still created multiples then remove the others and ALLOW the scan to complete FULLY. It will fix itself then. It just takes a while.@Luke Tagged you Luke just in case you were not aware that every build up to 4.6.0.1 beta still does this Edited September 27, 2020 by mickle026 Tagged Luke 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickle026 400 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I am not sure if it affects anything, but my default recording path is blank. Blank will default to Emby original setup path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
