HI, yes it's something that needs to be improved. Thanks for the feedback.

....

I got this on my friend's server a week or two ago, and now I'm getting it. I've tried restarting emby multiple times. I've tried it from multiple devices. I've just updated it, and nothing works.

 

Running it from an unraid server. So it's not a USB issue or whatever else. The only USB stick is the server OS, and all of my other apps are running fine.

Alright, I found this solution. This is really stupid.

I have 2 drives, a 1 TB SSD that runs my wikis and whatnot, and then a 4 TB HDD that is for storage. I use emby unconventionally to host videos related to my wikis.

I renamed a folder in my cache drive from "MDFW" > "MDFW Museum" to host old versions of a couple of my wikis. Despite selecting the CACHE drive, for some stupid ass reason, it renamed the MDFW folder in my hard drive as well to MDFW Museum.

I realized the issue when my friend suggested the 'file' was corrupted*, so I tried to download a video, and it gave me the "File not on server" message. I went to the hard drive folder and found that the MDFW folder had been renamed. emby seemed to be in a state of limbo, where it still showed the videos and images, but couldn't find them on the server.

* I tried multiple videos from 2 different admin accounts on 2 different devices, so I was pretty sure that wasn't it, unless my hard drive had been corrupted.
