The two local network IP addresses being detected now are 10.32.0.6 (the vpn one) and 192.168.1.15

and emby server successfully accessed both through local port 8096

2026-01-14 17:42:06.348 Debug App: Ping test result to http://192.168.1.15:8096/system/ping. Success: True

Ok, I managed to add a 20-second sleep ahead of emby-server starting up. That takes care of the internet access after reboot.

Did this change to allow for the local network to be detected on launch resolve the issue?

Just thinking again about this ..

You had folders for "TV Series" library on the remote network mounted path and these were not getting removed, but similar remote network mounted paths for the Movies library were being removed. 

This "TV Series" Folder path did not get removed: /mnt/wd_black/Downloads/plex_media/Series

This "Movies" Folder path did get removed: /mnt/wd_black/Downloads/plex_media/Films

Wondering how the mounts are setup - Would they be individually mounted or just mounted at higher level and then sub-folder names appended to the mount path - so would be the same mount for both TV Series and Movies but accessing different sub-folders below the mounts

No, they all got removed, all paths got removed. If you check my initial messages, after the issue, I recreated all of them, but not the movie library. I now recreated the movie's library. So far, everything is good. I also created a backup using the backup-restore page.

I plan on replicating the same conditions as prior next: unplugging the HDD, turning on the minipc again, turning on wifi and connecting via wifi. And see if that causes any problem.

 

The minipc now has a static IP address (ending in .15).  I added the 20-second sleep before launching the server to allow for the network to start up and stabilise.

Question: Is this log showing the network solved now?

Thank You. We never had any logs covering the actual removals - we just had logs showing the aftermath. Maybe there will be some clues with debug logging enabled.

Try to save all log files covering from launch time up to time when the media gets removed from the database

Thanks
