x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Heres the whole story so theres background on issue. Running v. 3.1.2, updated from 3.0.7200. NO check mark for auto update. Updated to 3.1.5 and forgot to take check mark out. Server auto updated, (problems started), playback issues, no vid but audio, and a weird metadata thing. A show from mtv cxalled FURTV, and/or, SCREAM TV SERIES. It took my full tv show library and made 1 tv show out of 8000+ episodes. SCREWED !! Updated to 3.2 something. Same problem. Uninstalled emby, but it doesnt uninstall everything.I removed it from reg and user/roaming and user/local. Nothing in program files or program data. Re-installed 3.2.5 and i must've missed deleting something, a few setting are still there from previous version settings. ?? WTF ? Been in metadata manager changing names and deleting references to furtv and scream tv series, went into metadata folder on hd and deleted pics from scream and furtv. And my tv folder is still high jacked. Heres the 2 questions : Where are all the places emby files install to, and all reg entries ? How do i get my tv folder back ? server-63623813114.txt server-63623813664.txt server-63623813760.txt server-63623813801.txt server-63623814864.txt server-63623819956.txt server-63623836800.txt server-install.log
Luke 42078 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Hi @@x88dually, unfortunately this report is toned more like a rant so I'm having a hard time understanding. Since you uninstalled, did you add your TV library to the new installation?
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) not a rant. back ground on what is happening with days of frustration. (since friday) ran media scan and chapter ext on every version on every install On each new install there are still files that didnt get uninstalled and deleted. How do i know this , after each install and library scan, some movies and shows once again show me resume points, and furtv image as tv folder image, and Scream: tv series as wording for furtv folder. Edited February 28, 2017 by x88dually
ebr 16178 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 All Emby components install under a single folder (Emby-Server) and we don't put anything in the registry (other than whatever Windows puts there to track the installation itself).
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) not to sound insulting or an azz, but..... how are there still remnants of older installs showing on a fresh install ? (checks in green circle, numbers in green circle with exact # of episodes left in series, exact time to resume an episode, then on config after install, a few settings were already done in transcode , dlna, and advanced settings, an in libary/advanced, it knew where the metadata path was ). I love the software and not trying to start an arguement, insult or piss anyone off !! Edited February 28, 2017 by x88dually
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 When you clicked Uninstall did you select the additional option for "All Traces"?
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 i put checks in everything each time
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Only thing you can do is ensure the Emby-Server folder doesn't exist after the uninstall. Are you restoring anything with the Server Configuration Backup plugin? Edited February 28, 2017 by Happy2Play
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 after uninstall, i manually delete files from hd and reg.and use IObit sys cleaner, the micro$$ hd cleaner, then defrag. Each and everytime. Fresh install, no back up config anything. And still it keeps a few settings from old install.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Don't see how it is possible since the information is not stored anywhere but the install folder and any custom paths you change from default. how are there still remnants of older installs showing on a fresh install ? (checks in green circle, numbers in green circle with exact # of episodes left in series, exact time to resume an episode, then on config after install, a few settings were already done in transcode , dlna, and advanced settings, an in libary/advanced, it knew where the metadata path was ). This can not happen unless you are not uninstall everything or you are restoring this stuff with the Server Configuration Backup plugin. I would ensure Emby doesn't exist on the computer then make a folder anywhere and install the portable version there. Edited February 28, 2017 by Happy2Play
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 And you think the portable version (in different directory) will eliminate the furtv image and scream:the tv series wording and grouping all tv episodes into its own folder ?
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I guess we need to see exactly what you are talking about. But from what you just posted my guess is nested tv series structure that is being mis-identified.
ebr 16178 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Make sure you don't have any Series.nfo files where they shouldn't be.
x88dually 9 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 files are hidden files, not in media folders. So i have to check every series in every season folder ?
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 What is your TV folder structure? Screen shots are best. Is it nested in any way (ie Shows\scream\Scream Queen? This example since Scream is nested Emby treats it as a series and messes everything up in that folder.
x88dually 9 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) TV array-------Media / TV / a show name / season # / episode. Movie array---Media / Movies / movie names Movie array---Media / Movies / 3D / movie name / Comedians / Movie name / Movie Sequels / movie collection name / movie names / Dogs / movie name........home movies of my 3 GSD's about 300 gig's of furry fun....lol Thats how each raid array is structured. dont know how to do screen shot and dont have anything to do it with, sorry. I dont even have the show Scream, Scream movies or Furtv, thats the screwed up part. Edited March 1, 2017 by x88dually
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Only way to figure out the issue is going to be screenshots of these specific examples you list.
x88dually 9 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 just installed 3.1.5.0, took check out of auto update, installed 5 plugins, and rebooted machine. installed to user/app data/local/emby-server. right clicked config emby, and guess what ? v. 3.2.5.0.....GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR on different floor of house going thru settings. should i chance running library scan yet ?
x88dually 9 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) every season folder has an episode, episode pic and episode nfo file. series folder has season folders and season pic and a season nfo an tvshow nfo should i go into every season folder looking for series nfo files ? Edited March 1, 2017 by x88dually
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I would first start with screenshots of your how you setup your Libraries in Emby. example Your system is monitoring at the wrong level 2017-02-28 00:07:36.8839 Info LibraryMonitor: Season 1 (K:\Media\TV\Dallas (2012)\Season 1) will be refreshed.2017-02-28 00:07:37.7887 Info LibraryMonitor: Dallas (2012) (K:\Media\TV\Dallas (2012)) will be refreshed.2017-02-28 00:07:40.5811 Info LibraryMonitor: Season 2 (K:\Media\TV\Dallas (2012)\Season 2) will be refreshed.2017-02-28 00:07:41.3924 Info LibraryMonitor: Season 3 (K:\Media\TV\Dallas (2012)\Season 3) will be refreshed.2017-02-28 00:07:41.4236 Info LibraryMonitor: Scream: The TV Series (K:\Media\TV) will be refreshed.
x88dually 9 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 under libraries where you add folders to be scanned into library : K:\Media click add, done, next folder M:\Media L:\Media done, click save an the rest is above. should i go into every season folder looking for series nfo files ?
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) under libraries where you add folders to be scanned into library : K:\Media click add, done, next folder M:\Media L:\Media done, click save an the rest is above. should i go into every season folder looking for series nfo files ? That is the issue. Media\TV should be the folder. Your creating a nested environment. Edited March 1, 2017 by Happy2Play
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Unless you are using Unset/mixed library content type.
ebr 16178 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Sorry, it is tvshow.nfo but I think happy is on to the right reason. If you can show the same screen shot that he did of his library setup it would be much clearer what is going on. Thanks.
