Dan124 0 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 I downloaded a movie and put it in my Movies folder. But it doesn't show up in the app. I tried moving it to another folder not used by Emby, waited an hour and then moved it back, but it still doesn't show up. The movie plays fine when I access it from the Windows file browser. I assumed it is because the file has to process first, but it's been over a day since first put in the folder. Yes, Scan Media Library shows it is active.
Luke 42077 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !
dan123456789 2 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 Not sure how to explain it better. I downloaded the movie, and put it in the Movies folder. It does show up when browsing through Windows File Explorer. But it doesn't show up in the Emby web app. I verified that the Scan media library task is running. Here is the Log file. embyserver.txt
dan123456789 2 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 The server is on Windows 11. The files are stored on a Synology NAS. The file in question is .mkv HEVC x265
Luke 42077 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 What specific example are we focusing on here?
dan123456789 2 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 File name begins with "The Lost Bus"
Luke 42077 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 OK the log shows that the realtime monitor picked it up and it was scanned into the library. What makes you think it wasn't added?
dan123456789 2 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 It doesn't show up in the Emby web app. Does the server need to do some processing before it shows? I added the movie last night.
dan123456789 2 Posted December 13, 2025 Posted December 13, 2025 The Scan media library seems to be stuck at 21%. Still not showing new items added to the library
dan123456789 2 Posted December 15, 2025 Posted December 15, 2025 Don't know what caused this issue, but I fixed it by completely uninstalling Emby and reinstalling. 1
