Moved media Library to new location. Some media's metadata points to old Paths and won't play.

I get this similar problem as well, I've changed/moved Paths for file locations to several movies/TV shows and EMBY doesn't release the old path/Location i.e (A: to D or V, H etc..)

and it'll still show it's in A and wont release it from A, and I haven't done one thing though, (I have not deleted the A drive from the library from the core settings yet, I need it to still see what I lost from the A drive crash)  which I can't ATM which is probably hindering my progress I'm sure, But I figured It should still notice the File move anyways, should it not?

any Ideas how I can move forward with redirecting or pointing the server to the new paths?

Like images show I know for a fact those shows are not in A: and All of them are still showing up as in A, and wont change to new location/Path 

TIA

elaborate please?

in the settings section of the individual  folder options?

side note: I've also noticed it's been taking an extremely long time for new data to load up too.

Have you recovered all this media that was on the A: Drive from a backup and placed them in new paths / added to other existing paths? Once you have done that you can edit the libraries to remove the A: Folder paths and then scan the libraries
