prevent emby to delete media from offline shared folders

[tsunami1701 6]

Hi there

I have the version 4.7.13.0 of Enby server installed in Windows 11.

Most of my media are in shared folders in another pc with Windows 10. In the Library setting I have set the (Optional) Shared network folder with the same UNC path used to add the shared folder. Emby can access the media without problem.

But...

If the pc that contains the media go to sleep for more then 12 hours, when Emby scans the library it delete all the media in shared folders. When I switch on the sleeping pc, I have to force a media library scan to get them back.

Is there a way to prevent the scan to delete the media if the shared folder is not available?

 

I would not extend the scanning time cause i like to have the library update and in any case if the pc go to sleep for too long the problem remains.

I have found this 2018 comment that proposed a Missing Date that would be perfect for me.

 

I cannot find this solution in my server. Is there a workaround to solve the problem?

 

Thank you very much!
