Strange issue after 4.8, Libraries show zero folders & Mixed Content

[Edrock200 53]

Here's an odd one, and I feel like this was something that happened with 4.7 upgrades too but my memory might be wrong. Emby settings/libraries shows all libraries as having zero folders and content type "Mixed Content." I went to the emby config dir/root/default/*LibraryName*/options.xml - It is showing the correct Library type (Movies or TV Show depending on the library) as well as the correct paths. Scans appear to be picking up new content from these folders as well, so not sure why the GUI is showing this. Whats even more odd, if I edit the library in the GUI, it too shows no paths associated.

Not even sure where to begin troubleshooting this. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This is just a maybe, try crtl+f5 , clear bowser cache, try another browser.

Thank you for the suggestion, but no dice there.

Hopped that would help.

Sorry it didn't.

Hmm, did you attempt to go back and forth between 4.7 and 4.8 at any point?

No, at least not intentionally. I've had the "latest" tag on the container/ansible file. Is there any fix for this?

Unfortunately you may have to remove and re-add the library.

Ahh bummer. I'll try to revert to a 4.7.x  backup and try rolling forward again.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

The restore didn't work. But I did manage to fix it. I have a second emby setup with identical libraries. I copied library.db and /root/default folders to broken emby. Deleted UserDatas and imported UserDatas from original broken DB. This seemed to work. Interestingly I did not copy the metadata folder over but the metadata from the broken emby worked. Does emby use filehashes or some universal identifier for the meta folders?

The name of each metadata folder for an item is based on it's file path.
