Migrating from FreeBSD to Windows - Library path substitution

[aklindeman 0]

I'm migrating from a FreeNAS setup running Emby in a FreeBSD jail to running Emby on a Windows 10 system.  I've migrated over the data and attempted to use the Backup plugin for the migration, but I'm running into a problem.

 

I have the same directory structure, but Windows uses drive letters.  Emby seems to be using C: as the default after the restore.  However, the new RAID is a different drive letter (K:).  I can update the path in the library, but it doesn't seem to update where the program is looking for my library.

Did you update all the libraries?

[aklindeman 0]

Yes I did.

[Luke 42086]

There might be some issues with migrating across operating systems. I personally would suggest a fresh start, and then when you restore with the backup plugin, uncheck the library definitions option and just add the library in manually. Let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Just got back to this.  Life got it the way for a bit.  Importing without library definitions after creating the library and letting it finish scanning did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback.
