Emby Server taking me to the Quick Start Wizard ???

[JohnyMc 1]

Ok so today I booted up Emby Server and it's going straight to the Quick Start Wizard as if I haven't used it before ???

I've changed nothing at my end...

Any work arounds so I can get my library back easily...??

This seems to be the problem I'm having too, but haven't updated anything...

Can someone walk me through how it is fixed, pretend I know nothing about computers and need to be walked through with every step clearly outlined...

HI, one possibility is that apple time machine or backup could have messed with the contents of the server data folder. Another possibility is that the server xml config file became corrupted somehow.

If you locate the server data folder, how large is it?

Emby Server Data Folder

I have both folders locally mentioned in the link you gave..

the ~.config/emby-server data folder is 440KB

the /emby-server data folder is 51.8MB

I don't use Time Machine and haven't backed up my Mac...

If you go into those two data folders that you found, then underneath that there is a logs folder. See which one is getting written to.
