Moved Emby to new Server and now playback errors and metadata not showing

[HairyBizRat 21]

So i moved emby by copying the folder in appdata to new server

It wasn't playing back some shows so i removed the folder and rescanned the library but then emby wasn't deleting the show that was no longer there. I manually deleted it on emby and moved the shows folder back. not emby add the folder back but when i try to play an episode it says :No playable items were found. Are you trying to play an empty folder?:

So i removed the folder for Severence and Lioness and waited 5 minutes, then added it back to my TV series library, Emby doesn't detect ti at all now.

 

also there is no metadata for most of my show's and movies, i tried to manually refresh and nothing happens. I rescanned libraries , did a vacuum scan and full media scan and nothing is being added

any help please

to add, i tried a full libray scan on my movie folder. It got to 90% quickly and is now at 95% (but its taken 2+ hours to get from 90% to 95%)

HI @HairyBizRatdid you wait for the initial library scan to finish?

It looks like it’s fine now , it took like 8-10hrs to finish scanning movies and tv for some odd reason but it’s working now
