Corrupted Server Crashes Repeatedly

[freeindeed 0]

I am running Emby Server 3.1.2.0. I added plugins including IPTV and Time Lord.  I selected Live TV setting to Automatically organize recordings into existing series folders in other libraries. I then moved .TS files from C:\Users\John Lilly\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\data\livetv\recordings on SSD to external drive in folder entered in Live TV settings Default Recording Path.  Emby generated 168 Folders in C:\Users\John Lilly\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\root\default named Recordings1 thru Recordings11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.  Emby Server has become unstable and crashes repeatedly. Do I have an option to rebuild Emby's database or should I reinstall?  If reinstall, should I install plugin Server Configuration Backup and backup before reinstall and restore after reinstall?  Do I need to use IObit Uninstaller to clean Win 10 Home registry of references to Emby Server before clean install?

 

Thank you

Thanks, @mastrmind11. I was reading that before posting.

@@freeindeed can you please capture a screenshot of your live tv settings, along with your library setup and post them both here? thanks !

Attached Library 1-7 and Live TV settings per request.

Thank you.

Would you mind performing a test. Try removing the trailing slash 

\

from your default recording path and see if the folders stop getting created. I will update the server to handle this. thanks.

Trailing slash \ removed from Live TV settings Default Recording Path.  Deleted a few Folders from Library and they have not been replicated: Recordings1  and Recordings11.  Library scan successfully completed.  Errors in log files for filename too long I think pertain to Recordings11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 and others way too long.  Plan to delete all 168 one at a time.  Could I just turn off Emby server, delete appropriate files in C:\Users\John Lilly\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\root\default such as C:\Users\John Lilly\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\root\default\Recordings1111 etc. then restart Emby server?

Yes you can probably do that. Thanks for the feedback. This is resolved for the next release of the server so that it will not get stuck in a loop creating these folders. Thanks.
