MP4 Video Files not displaying in EMBY

[davidawarner 13]

Friends, 

Few years ago, Luke helped me with EMBY where files (MP3/MP4) were not updating when I copied to the paths EMBY is monitoring.
For sometime now, I have noticed this issue creep up again. 

I noticed my entire collection of \\10.190.39.5\Video\Music Concerts  are not displaying MP4 videos. 

EMBY server is hosted to my SynologyNAS. Haven't seen issue's with other video or mp3 folders displaying.

Could use assistance EMBY team.

Attached are my server texts. Not sure where to go from here.

Please assist

Hi, where exactly are you looking for them?

Not sure if this helps but the directory is: 

10.190.39.5\Video\Music

There is a combination of mpg and mp4 video files. 

I mentioned when I drop a new video and to another directory like my movies or if it's a music file emby's not picking it up. I have to actually search the files or the library metadata so that way it populates to the UI of MB 

 

Ideas?

@davidawarnerCan be something as simple as a filter you have enabled in the client?
It sometimes fools me when i forget to remove it.

I just looked and no filters I can see. 

Verified this with three devices. TV (Roku), Laptop, and S26ULTRA..

This is the old classic RTM limit problem:

There is a post on this forum that gives instructions on how to fix this, but all searches currently give me 0 results.

A forced library scan should also make these avaliable (but not future additions).
