How to change the SampleIgnoreSize Emby Server uses for each Library

[Carlo 4330]

Shutdown Emby Server.

Your library info will be stored in a path similar to this on Windows. Change the bolded text to be the username Emby runs under. This will be in a different location on platforms other than Windows but will still give you idea how to find it.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default

You will see a folder for each Library on your system.  Here is an example:

Edit the folder that matches the library you want to edit and in that folder will be options.xml. Use a notepad/text editor program to edit this file.  Look for something similar to

<SampleIgnoreSize>314572800</SampleIgnoreSize>

Change it to 

<SampleIgnoreSize>0</SampleIgnoreSize>

Save the file and restart Emby.  You will then likely want to do a full library scan.
