Emby scheduled tasks - safe to delete them?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Gents,

 

I'm running Emby on Linux.

It's constantly writing these 2 files below (5 mins set for Organize new media files):

  • /var/lib/emby/ProgramData-Server/data/fileorganization.db
  • /var/lib/emby/ProgramData-Server/data/ScheduledTasks/[random-name].js
  1. Is it safe to store /var/lib/emby/ProgramData-Server/data on a tmpfs? This means it's cleared after system restart.
  2. Or is it safe to lose fileorganization.db?
  3. I assume I can safely store /ScheduledTasks/[random-name].js files on a tmpfs.

Now the two files above keeps my HDD spinning all the time. Even when nothing is changed in the file system.

However, my libraries are set to be "watched" for changes. This could easily trigger library scan and subtitle downloading, metadata update, etc etc. instead of manual, time-period scheduler.

 

 

What is your opinion?

 

Thanks.

If you clear the data directory after restart it will be like you just installed Emby Server.

Thanks Luke,

 

And what is fileorganization.db for?

Auto-organize. My suggestion is to just go press play and enjoy your movies.
