My Series (TV Shows) No longer showing in Library

[Prochid 0]

Hi admin,
I have been using Emby for years and really no issues. I updated my installation as I was moving content drives and now it makes me look like a novice.
I have re-added the content type with no issues but for strange reason, TV Shows refuse to show up. I added main folder, no show, removed and added per series same thing. It is just blanked out.

I am really fed up here.

Can you show your "HD Movies" library paths, as well as posting server log.

Here It is.

I assume these 2 files are the logs.

Do you have any access control (folder and/or parental) in place for that user? (Edit desired user>Access tab or Parental Control tab)

Btw, you shouldn't add per-series folder as library path but parent TV show folder (i.e. E:\Emby\Series).

No, this is the Admin account that has all access.
As per adding series folder, it came as a result of finding a solution .

Do you have any more libraries created as your screenshot shows only three of them but this appears as issue with overlapping/nested folders paths (not supported):

It looks like one of your libraries has library path as only E:\EMBY and it affects all the other libraries.

Oh yes, like I mentioned, I only have issues with TV Shows content types.

[GrimReaper 4740]

Yeah, so do check all of your library paths, likely one of your movie libraries has that path and it sets content type: Movie for TV shows items, hence you're not seeing them in TV Show-type libraries.

So I created another folder and copied content into it.
Created a new TV Show content type, still same.

It will still be the same indefinitely until you trace what is making watcher seeing "E:\EMBY" as library path, as it encompasses all the other libraries/paths. 

What are your Christian Discuss and Messages libraries paths? 

[Prochid 0]

Saw "E:\EMBY" under  Christian Discuss & removed.
Scanning.....

Nothing yet.

There you go. 

Yeah, it'll take some time now as all items need to be rescanned & readded under respective libraries.

Seems I'll have to rebuild library from scratch.
Or anyway to do database rescan? so all folders cache can be regenerated.

That's what effectively being happening now, scan media library should do that automatically - have you let the task run to the end?

Yes I have as thought also here, but now getting empty entries.

Post server log as your db might be broken, as overlapping/nested library paths occasionally cause.

Since your issue was with your root E:\Emby folder you may have to remove all libraries and readd.  As that parent path technically should have broken all libraries.

Dev really needs a Warning or not make it possible to add an already existing path.

Hi,
Yes, I had to uninstall and Install afresh and recreated the libraries.
@GrimReaper thanks for the time.
 

BTN any easy way of adding HLS url as a TV channel in Emby?

Hi, you can create an m3u channel listing file and then import that into emby live tv.
