No longer scanning Movie library

[Sigogglin 1]

I just installed two new movies, but Emby never sees them.

I can see them on the fileserver, their permissions are the same as other movies that do work.  Plex sees and plays them fine.

When I manually kick off a library it wouldn't scan.  I disabled "Enable real time monitoring" and kicked of another manual scan.  This actually allowed the scan to proceed and I finally got something in the log file.  There were some metadata picture files with bad permission on an older movie.  After I fixed them, things scanned and my new movies showed up.

Is it expect to silently fail to scan the libarary either automatic or manual when real time monitoring is enabled?  I would have thought I would get the error messages in the log file without having to disable the real time monitoring.  Of to gracefully ignore the files that were inaccessible and continue.

 

thanks

Hi there, why do you think it wouldn't scan? What exactly did you do?

I went onto the webpage and the Movies library hit the ... and chose scan library.

It did report anything I could see to the log file and I didn't get a progress bar.

After disabling real time monitoring, it did report to the log file, I did get a progress bar, and it also reported the issues it was seeing.

Maybe it did scan, it just didn't do anything.

OK, so are you all set now? Generally speaking if the scan doesn't have much to do, then the progress bar for the individual library may only appear briefly.

Yes, after I fixed the permission issues with the cover art, everything scanned in just fine.

It seems that it just gives up to easily.

Thanks for the feedback.
