4.6.0.50 - Scan library stuck at 97.4%, .NET exception errors in log file (attached)

[unisoft 272]

Library scanning seems to stop at 97.4%.

 

I take a look at the log file and notice there are .NET errors? Attached the log file extract. Last line in paste eblwo says about duplicate path - except it isn't a duplicate path but the path is included in another Photos library (the old one before the new combined Photos & Videos library)

Any ideas what needs to be fixed here please?

Hi, the xml errors mean you have xml metadata files that are not valid xml. Regarding the scan, the update will rescan your music and audiobook libraries so I would just be patient and allow it to finish.

Is there any way of knowing which XML files have the offending syntax because it doesn't log it in the log file? I just don't recall seeing errors on the previous versions of Emby but you did update  the XML plugin, so wondering if you were being more strict and logging now?

On another note, I'm happy with the TV guide changes - like being able to change the ordering, the channel numbering and the fcat the logos work for different shades of themes. Very grateful for those changes.

The TAGS feature in Live TV is a bit bizarre though, because I tagged TV and Radio stations with things like "Current Affairs", "Politics", "Radio" and the TAGS section then started showing movies and tv content from my libraries that had the same tags? That bit made no sense to me? I thought tags were used to group into Categories of channel types??????

Thanks

It does not appear that way. We'll have to adjust the logging. You might consider switching entire to nfo at this point as the xml format has been obsolete for a long time.
