New setup. Folders scan finished. Library empty.

Hi.  Did you setup parental controls and perhaps enable Music in the "Block items with no or unrecognized ratings"?  Most music has no rating information.

No, no parental controls set.

And the emby user has access to all libraries? Are you using the block with tags feature?

[nankinodai 0]

No blocking.

I'm just taking a shot in the dark since I dont' really understand the software, but since I can create another music directory whose contents appear in the library, I am guessing that the problem is a compatibility issue with the directory structure or content types in the directory. What do you think?

Woah! The library suddenly appeared.

 

The only trigger I can see was that I plugged in my android phone to copy some files, and the phone's music library appeared under "Latest Music". Then the rest of the library appeared under the Artist etc. tabs. I'll post a log file if you're curious. Thanks for the help on this, glad it's working now.

That was my guess, yes. Thanks for the feedback.

So, the same problem is happening again.  I've been ripping CDs as uncompressed files and putting those in a different library, which shows up just fine.

 

I then removed the original library, and went through my files. For the most part it's now a 1-level folder structure, with each album in its own folder at the root level. There are a couple exceptions but it's a lot cleaner than before. I also removed all videos.

 

When I re-add the folder as a new library, same problem as before. Log attached.

What exactly do you mean by re-add the folder as a new library? what folder exactly? Thanks.

I removed the problem folder.  Then added the Music folder as a new media folder.
