Folder files are read again when the movie location changes

[gsites 14]

I have a problem that didn't happen before.
I identify and generate the files for each film or series on the local computer, after everything is correct I send them online in gsuite.

The big problem is that emby is reading everything again, generating thumbnails, 320-10.bif preview files. This takes a long time and consumes the daily bandwidth resource of 750GB of gsuite.

The files in each folder are already there perfectly, with the media identification, and everything.

Why is emby doing the whole procedure again?
Is there any way to change the path in the database to prevent this?

I'm putting screenshots below for a better understanding.

Hi, this is normal because it looks like a new file to the server.

 If you have preexisting images though then they will be used and not regenerated.

hello

but there is something wrong, the files already exist, the .bif files and the images already exist in the folder where the media is, and when you change another directory, emby redoes the entire process, emby downloads all the media to the server and then Regenerates the images and also the .bif files. Think, if the files already exist, wouldn't it be just a matter of checking the data? yes, including the .nfo file, emby downloads it to the server and redoes the entire process.

Why do you think it’s regenerating them?

I'm sure this happens, see the images, I changed folders and emby starts redoing the whole process again, see, if there is a .nfo file inside the folder because emby is doing everything again, wouldn't it just read the .nfo file information?

This is terrible, it takes a long time, and this didn't happen a few months ago, I also don't know when it started doing this, I only just realized it now. It's always the same job. See in the prints that emby is downloading the complete media from the server to analyze, see that this is unnecessary, everything inside the specific folder is explained.

It does read the nfo, but then it also does internet metadata lookups to fill in additional information, if you have enabled internet metadata on the library.

I disabled the voluntary metadata search, it only searches metadata when there is a command from the administrator, which is me.

See what problem I'm facing. More than 5 thousand films, all correct, cataloged on my computer's local SSD, all with metadata, and much more. So, I decided to move everything to gsuite online, and see what a surprise, emby doesn't stop doing everything again, even with the information inside the file folder. This is a meaningless, unnecessary thing. If emby reads the NFO and the NFO is complete, inside the folder are the poster images and also the .bif file, then you shouldn't do the whole process again, this is meaningless, a programming error or a more resolved expectation, simply a disaster, if this were the case for a company that recruited employees, the company owner would have to pay again for tasks that had already been done.

Think about it

I need your help, tell me which database file the emby file folders are located in
