New Movies not found

[Canavese 7]

Well, this used to work, but I must have changed something.

When I add a new movie to my NAS server, Emby doesn't find it unless I click on the SCAN button in the Library settings.

Did I somehow turn off the switch to look for new files?

Hi there, can you please provide a specific example?

Thanks.

Interesting....New movies are added with a date of year 1903 for "date added" .....   But I can't find my log - I have a Mac ....I am going to read the "How to report a Problem" again

I have the movies on a Synology drive and Emby has no trouble playing movies or any other function except finding new movies of any file extension. embyserver-63827913607.txt

Well, I added another movie and this time, the correct date added was there and the movie was added without me having to click the "Scan Library Files" button

I put new movies in the Emby directory and waited overnight.   They didn't show up

 

Then I clicked the library scan button in settings and they show up.......This is any movie not just a specific type.  In this case, the movies were from PlayOn mp4's -- and the same happens for MKV ripped disks.

Have you checked your library options? Is the realtime monitor enabled?

I changed the trigger from midnight to every 6 hours and now it works.   Note that I was waiting until the next day so it should have worked (see above example).

That sounds like scheduled tasks. Have you checked your library options? Is the realtime monitor enabled?

I can't find that.   

[Luke 42077]

Hi, where are you looking for it?

[Canavese 7]

First I looked in library then everywhere else

Is it in the Mac version?

[Canavese 7]

Ever since I changed the scheduled tasks...it works fine. 

I still can't find an on/off for a realtime monitor

As an update, ever since I changed the schedule frequency Emby scans and find new videos immediately, not just on a 4 hour schedule.   I didn't change anything else.

Hi, it is the options for each library in Emby library setup. Do you know where those are?

Found it.   It was already checked.

Hi, I can see that the filter button is highlighted blue. Maybe you have a filter activated and the movie is being filtered out of the view? Please check that.

[Canavese 7]

Yes....I had checked if they were out of view.....I also searched for them.   But that was before.....now everything is detected immediately and the only thing I did was change the schedule.   It was stuck before that.

OK thanks for the update.
