kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I open this, click on ANY of my folders... AND GET THIS: My movie folder works fine, but I spent all weekend trying to get ANY TV episodes to show up and couldn't do it. Any Ideas? Kevin
Luke 42078 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Hi, have you tried running a library scan?
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 At every change and they're done instantaneously. ie: Not at all?
Luke 42078 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Have you added any folders in Emby library setup? can you please show us what that looks like? thanks !
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 From (Capture 3) I can get to any of the folders (capture 4), but no where from there.
Luke 42078 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Can you please run a library scan and then attach the emby server log? you can learn how to do that here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/739-how-to-report-a-problem/ Thanks !
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 No. It's a partition of an internal HD.
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Detectorists...I think, but as I can not see them.....????
kanipek 230 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Can you provide a screenshot of the folder structure or describe it in detail?
Luke 42078 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Detectorists...I think, but as I can not see them.....???? What folders did you add in emby library setup?
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 New wrinkle: New wrinkle. I click on the Detectorists folder from my home page and then choose : "Latest" from the top menu bar. The bottom of the capture screen is most interesting...showing file names from a show I forgot I even loaded with thumbs from the Detectorists series?
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 "What folders did you add in emby library setup?" I think I discovered at least 2 ways to do it, but as I did and tried so many things over the weekend, I can't answer your question.

I think I discovered at least 2 ways to do it, but as I did and tried so many things over the weekend, I can't answer your question. Just click on the library in emby library setup and the library editor will show you that information.
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 "Can you provide a screenshot of the folder structure or describe it in detail?" WHICH? From WHERE?
Luke 42078 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 "Can you provide a screenshot of the folder structure or describe it in detail?" WHICH? From WHERE? He's asking to see what your actual media folders look like.
ebr 16184 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Okay, that's the E: drive and your previous screen show showed the library pointing to W:. If you want to use that structure, your best bet when setting up the library will be to add each of the organizational folders (e.g. "0-D") as folders for your TV library. Can you try doing that and running a scan? 1
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Here's the actual structure of my primary collection. "T", ", "W" is another one. I have tried adding each folder (no matter which HD source) as a separate entry AND have tried to enter the entire drive with subfolders. Neither seemed to eork, but I am new here...being a PLEX defector. Two structure snaps:
ebr 16184 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Okay, there are a number of different physical structures involved here. In that last one, it is going to be a problem because there is no parent folder containing all of the series folders and adding the root of the share will cause problems with the other (non series) items at that level. I would suggest you grab all those series folders and move them under a single folder and then point a library to that one folder. If you haven't been there, please check out: TV naming
kanipek 230 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 While it will take a bit of effort on your part. This structure will be problematic as EBR said. There are a few different structures that will work, I find the best is TV-Shows\series\season# and if you have a lot of series to deal with add an additional layer, for me I chose 0-D, E-H and so on - If you choose this method that organizational folder (0-D for example) is the folder you will add to your library in Emby. That make sense?
kkorotev 12 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Yes. I get it now, I think My problem is that I came from another (PLEX) system and made some assumptions. I will follow you suggestion and see what happens. I'll get back to you. Thanks very much for your $100/hr. tech support. 1
