I broke a library - now can't unbreak it

Hi there;

I have a subscribption to Digitally Imported, and thus have URL's with my user access number in them.

I made individual STRM files, with the url on the first line, and nothing else.

20x STRM files were in a folder mounted on Docker, and a created a "Music Content" library on Emby.  This had to many album, song, artist headings in the library.

Therefore I then made a second library, with "Mixed Content" - pointing to the same folder.  I manually uploaded all thumbnail images of all the channels.  It worked great, clicking on an icon would play the music in the background, and I could continue to navigate Emby.  It also worked flawlessly with DLNA and my Yamaha Amp.

I then deleted the original library as I wasn't using it, and creating confusion with wife.

Now, second working library has no images, and, every time I click a channel/icon, it plays my movie intro video, and, plays the content like a movie.  If I back out of it, it stops.  Worse, it doesn't work with my DLNA anymore.

Trying to re-add either library, as Music or Mixed content, has the same end result, music streams acting like movies.

Any idea how to fix?

Thanks

I should also add; I have backup & restore plugin installed, but it appears to have never made a backup, even when i try manually.  :(

Sorry for the post, I half fixed it.

Method; 

Delete all existing libraries to this one.

Create new library content = "Music".  Scan.

Create second new library content = "Mixed".  Scan.

Re-upload icon pictures to each channel. 

Now to find out why it keeps cycling through all channels after 1-2 minutes.  They are streams.

Hi, thanks for following to. Currently using the same folder in multiple libraries is not supported unless they are the same content type.

Interesting. 

I think this creates my "solution".

The first music library makes it Music.

The second mixed content library makes it music from above, and only displays icons for each stream/channel.
