Privacy - What info is stored about my library?

[user84 46]

I am curious what logs or history is stored regarding my library? A few questions:

• What information is stored regarding my library as it stands right now?
  • Locally?
  • On your servers?
  • Elsewhere
• If I delete media, what logs/history files exist that show that that file was ever in my library?
  • Locally?
  • On your servers?
  • Elsewhere?

Hi, nothing about your library or users are stored on our servers.

Locally?

If I delete a file, what is stored about that file in perpetuity?

Why does that matter? If it info stored locally then you are in complete control so no one can steal or view that info without YOU allowing it.

All due respect, the why shouldn't really matter. I just want an answer to the question.

Only the providerid in userdata is watched otherwise nothing as the db itemid purged and a new one is assigned if readded.

Not sure I get it completely, but sounds like I delete an item, the itemid is purged, and it disappears? So there's no log that says "deleted" or anything anywhere?

If an item has a providerID (Ids for IMDB, TheTVDB, TheMovieDB) and that item has been watched by a user on your server; your server will remember that user watched that providerID. All other data related to the item is deleted.

Gotcha. So there is information showing that movies have been watched even after you delete them. This is very helpful. Thank you. 

Where do I access this data?

Is it possible to export?

Is it possible to delete?

It'll be burried in one of the .db files in emby servers data directory, presumably users.db, though a dev may want to comment on that.

As far as exporting/deleting; you'd have to do that yourself via a database editor. Emby doesn't really provide tools for that, nor do I have advice there.

 

 

 

 

.... Just gonna toss in a reminder to backup data before messing with it....

It is in the library.db in the userdatas table per usersid from the users.db.  And yes you can query all that userid info and remove it.

example showing user 2 in users.db and data in library db.
