Emby logic on network folder unmount

[Edrock200 53]

Question about how emby handles when a root folder is completely missing, e.g. a network share unmounts. From my experience, it appears to wipe the libraries if not caught in time. I know I can script some logic in a cron to stop emby when this happens, but if my experience is correct, requesting a feature request in that if the root folder is completely missing, emby skip said folder.

This is already implemented:

 

As long as emby can still see the root folder of your library, but content is missing from it (or its entirely empty), it'll remove the content from its database.

If you use for example /mountpoint/movies/; when the mountpoint is dismounted the /movies/ folder disappears entirely.

As emby can't find the root folder /movies/ at all, it won't remove the media.

Thanks! I'll have to see why mine wiped on that case. Appreciate the response.
