shep 3 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I have Syncthing installed on my Emby server to allow for automatic syncing. While I have no problems with either software, Emby seems to be doing something to the original files and is causing a TON of Syncthing conflicts. This, in turn, causes duplicate files, which makes Emby think there's new files, and only makes matters worse. How can I tell Emby to not modify original files? What's it even doing? The file sizes are different, but the data and image appear to be the same. Here's a ZIP of the two files in question (tried uploading them straight but they got resized in the process): Syncthing Conflict Pictures.zip The two pictures in that ZIP are as follows: 20160312_095332.jpg 3,313,014 bytes 20160312_095332.sync-conflict-20160813-164908.jpg 3,312,956 bytes Is there a way I can have Emby avoid touching the original file so that Syncthing can sync without issues?
Luke 42077 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Do you mean pictures in a photo library? We never modify those if that's what you mean.
shep 3 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Posted August 13, 2016 Hmm, I'll try wiping the Emby folder and re-syncing the pictures. Good news is I have backups of it all! Will report back. (By the way, I tried editing my other topic to add the "Fixed" thread prefix, but it wouldn't take. Mind doing that for me?)
