RedStripe 14 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Changed music library folder structure.Moved:D:\My Music\Album\Artist Name1\Album1 Album2 Album\Artist Name2\Album1 Album2toD:\My Music\Music\Artist Name1\Album1 Album2 Artist Name2\Album1 Album2This broke links between "...ImagesByName\artists\Artist NameX" and the "D:\My Music\Music\Artist NameX\AlbumX". "...ImagesByName\artists\Artist NameX" links to "D:\My Music\Album\Artist NameX\AlbumX", which no longer exists.How can I rebuild the database(s) to fix this situation? Edited April 17, 2014 by RedStripe
Luke 42078 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 you don't need to rebuild anything. any problems you're having will just come back. what exactly is the issue you're seeing?
RedStripe 14 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Symptoms 1) MediaBrowser has become painfully slow (perhaps searching for nonexistent/moved metadata)2) Many of my artist images ..\dashboard\musicartists.html are not displaying. When I edit them to add an image it creates the image in D:\My Music\Album\Artist Name1\Album1 (note: this is previous path which has been deleted)3) When I moved my albums folder to a new location the references to ...\Album1\folder.jpg (artist image) where not change to new location. (see "Path:" in screen shots)In the cases where MediaBrowser looks for the artist image in the ...\Album1 folder it cannot find it because it is looking in the prior (now deleted) location. (see "Path:" in screen shots)The artist images DO display on1. .../dashboard/musicalbumartists.htmlThe artist images DO NOT display on1. .../dashboard/itembynamedetails.html2. .../dashboard/musicartists.html
Luke 42078 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 have you reviewed the server log for errors? please post logs every step of the way. thanks.
RedStripe 14 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Never mind. I thought I had tried everything. I restarted the server and it resolved everything. I apologize for wasting your time. My bad.
Luke 42078 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Great. I just wanted to say also that the server should recover just fine if you move your files around. The first scan following the move may be slow as it rediscovers everything, but once you get through that it should return to normal.
