Merge all movie folders into a single library

[sven901 0]

I am new to Emby, so apologies in advance. I am considering a PLEX to Emby move, but am having difficulties setting up libraries. In PLEX, I simply create a library type (e.g., Movies, TV, etc) and add any folders containing movies. PLEX then show them combined into the single library "Movies". When I try to do this in Emby, I end up with a dozen different "Movie" libraries - not what I want. I have at least 15 different Movie folders scattered across multiple hard drives.  Is there no way to add folders into a single library, as in PLEX? If not, this is a non-starter for me. The same would be true for any other library types, such as TV Shows, Concerts, etc.  Any help will be appreciated.  And yes, I have spent hours reading through Emby documentation, forum posts, and general googling. To no avail.

Yes you can add multiple folders to the same library. Can you show your library configuration?

Not sure what you mean by library configuration. Also, if it makes a difference, I am using the free version of Emby, before making a purchase decision. Thanks

Go to your libraries and add the second drive / folder to that library.

Neminem - Thank you very much. Will proceed with library build out. Will also need to find out if there is a plugin or procedure for automatically migrating PLEX metadata to Emby, so I don't have to start from scratch. Thanks again. Sven901
