Library Won't Scan for New Movies

[Titanum 1]

I am now having this exact same problem but I looked in my log and didn't see anything that says denied. I am also on Windows 10 running Emby 4.6.7.0. All my libraries scan just fine except my movies one, so I threw all my movies in a new folder and it initial scanned them fine but if I throw any new movies in it wont scan them or show the percentage wheel.

Hi @Titanum,

Try checking the parent folder/directory permission and specifically actions for new content or sub folders.
You need to make sure the permissions get applied to anything added to the tree.

I checked that and I appear to have permissions.

Doubt you have the same issue as your 3 minute log has no permissions issues.

Am guessing you changed Moovies to Movies.

You are saying Real Time Monitoring is not seeing newly added movies? 

Do they appear after a full scan?

What is your folder structure?

@Titanumplease follow this topic.

The original folder was called G:\Movies and it had stopped scanning any newly added movies about 2 weeks ago. So I tried moving out those 2 weeks worth of new movies  (about 10 of them) thinking one of them might have caused the issue. Added one new movie to G:\Movies and tried scanning from the home screen, didn't work so tried a different movie and same thing. Then I tried Scan Library Files in the Server/Libraries section which didn't pick up anything either. So I created a new folder in my G drive G:\Moovies and Cut and Pasted all my movies minus the newest ones into there. It auto populated all the movies correctly. I tried adding a new movie to it and it wont update it again with any of the methods I tried earlier. I have now created a new folder G:\Movies! to hold all my new movies in, about 10 or 12 so far, it auto populated them correctly and have added 2 more to this folder since and the scan worked fine and updated it correctly. It's just the folder with 4302 movies in it wont scan anymore.

Attached is a new log and folder structure pic

Hopefully all that made sense.

Could the drive be corrupt or going bad?  Or something specific to these two movies.

System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. : 'G:\Moovies\Fatherhood (2021) [720p] [WEBRip] [YTS.MX]'

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'G:\Moovies\Uncharted (2022)'

Thank you so much! It was the Fatherhood movie causing the issue. I couldn't delete it but Cut and Pasted everything except Fatherhood to a yet again new folder. It auto updated, I added a new movie and it updated perfectly.

 

Thanks again
