3 quick questions about metadata as well as database rebuilding

[djhifi 56]

OK I have 3 quick questions

 

1 - If I have "metadata savers" option turned "on" for Movies and the .NFOs in those media folders, if I choose to rebuild my database, Emby automatically uses those .nfos or should I enable some ticker prior to that?

 

 

2 - When I remove any given path from the "Library" section, all its metadata (namely images) is deleted from wherever I'm storing it? (In this case I have centralized metadata for images) or should I run a database scan for the server to be able to delete those things?

 

3 - What is the proper action selecting "replace all metadata" option triggers? I've searched the wiki and found no info for those 3 options "scan for new and updated files", "search for missing metadata" and the one I question. It confuses me a bit and I don't understand if this is linked with the point 1 or 2 that I questioned above?

 

Thanks

#1 - yes

 

#2 - it's generally a good idea to run a library scan after doing that.

Thanks. Regarding number 2, when I run that library scan after removing either a single movie or an entire path, emby server deletes metadata from where I have it and also entries from the library.db then? Or only when I "VACUUM" it?

Yes it should. But based on your question I think you are misunderstanding what vacuum does.
