Problems with Version 4.9.1.90

[Ulli66 1]

Hi,

I have Emby on a Synology DS1817+ with two Synology DX517 and DSM 7.1.1. I installed emby-server-synology7_4.9.1.90_x86_64 - better I didn't.

Is it possible, that it is a new function, to put different versions of the same movie in one collection and this function is activated by default? I do not remember, that I ever activated this feature. It looks like Emby did an initial scan to realize this. Many movies could not be identified, before the scan they were OK, maybe fixed by me earlier. I have to check all and correct many movies now manually 
Here you can't help, but please check this so that no more users have to go through this.

Second thing: Movies in folders containing a file .ignore will now be imported, this was not the case in earlier versions. Can this be fixed please?

Hope you understand my English

Best regards
Ulli

How to Report a Problem

Hi,

well... this is difficult. I attache the oldest log-file, I reported this on Sunday morning, the log file is dated just before the post, maybe it does not show the exact problem.

I just saw, that this function was activated in the movie library (sorry, German language)

I don't remember that I did that. So I thought that it has been set in the new version by default.
I recognized long scan of the media library over 1 1/2 hour, normally about 1/2 hour.

After this I found a lot of movies, that could not be identified, they were allright before, f.e.


And different versions of the same movie have been stored in one folder. 

Some movies have been identified wrong, so I have to check every movie if it is OK. This happens, when the movie title is not unique like "Carrie" oder "Bettina" and there is no IMDP path in an information file.


In addition I have a lot of Movies with a Sample-File in a subfolder Sample. There i created an empty text file called .ignore.
In earlier versions files in these folders have been ignored when scanning the media library. Now I have a lot of movies with the word sample included in the database:

 

Hope that helps - I did not thougt, that examples where needed in this case.

Best regards
Ulli

@Ulli66why do you keep the Samples folders? What is the use case for that?

[Ulli66 1]

Because I can. Sorry, I have no time for a discussion about it. I'm still checking my Movie-Database, finished letter K now. I think I will be ready with it in three months.

Changing a movie, the metadata or a picture of it takes more and more time until I restart emby server, that it works fast again. Yesterday I added new movies and series, the scheduled scan of the media library started at 2 am, now it is 12:40 PM and it reached 90%. I have to look how I can add a restart of emby before the scan. I will add the actual log file later, when the scan is ready.

Hi, have you updated to Emby server 4.9.3? Has that helped?

4.9.3.0   Ignores .Ignore

I have sooo much `temporary` files imported now.  My Emby is a total mess.

That was changed

@LukeIs it not about time to come with a proper release blog about 4.9

People are confused and it generates a lot more support questions.

As people don't follow beta releases.

Ahh... beta releases. I searched a long time to find release notes, changes, fixes etc. I never thought about beta releases.

No. Based on this experience I wait a while before another update. I don't want to start the fixing from beginning on again.

It was changed during last beta.

And implemented in 4.9 so its the new reality.
