PaulE123 20 Posted October 12, 2025 Posted October 12, 2025 Hi all, Coming from a perfectly working/stable previous Emby server version, I updated this morning to the latest version. All seems fine, except, my Movie library now has a bunch of random files listed. Upon investigating, it appears they're originating from folders within my Movie library that I have .ignore. files in (in order to have Emby ignore them.) Unraid (latest stable), Emby (latest stable)

PaulE123 20 Posted October 12, 2025 Author Posted October 12, 2025 Ah, I must have missed the memo on that one! Cheers, I'll set about updating my ignore files!
crusher11 1101 Posted October 12, 2025 Posted October 12, 2025 If only someone had flagged the lack of backwards-compatibility during the beta phase and predicted that it would cause issues once it hit stable...
PaulE123 20 Posted October 12, 2025 Author Posted October 12, 2025 All sorted now, cheers. I was doing it manually, and realised I'd way more .ignore files than I thought I had. So, in end, I used the Terminal in Unraid to automate it for me. find /mnt/user -type f -name ".ignore" -execdir sh -c 'rm -f "$1" && echo "*" > .embyignore' _ {} \; ^^ This scans all my SMB shares for any .ignore files, and replaces them with .embyignore files that contain the asterix character within. Simple and effective. A full library scan then resolved any remaining unignored files. 2
