Hi there, can you please attach a server log? What happens when you try to scan the library? Thanks.

[Akilian 5]

Nothing. On the dashboard notifications it says scan failed.

Hi,

 

starting with emby couple of days ago, had the same error. Tried to solve it with an update from 3.0.6 to 4.0.1 without success.

After enabling debug logging I came across a similar error message saying 

Could not find a part of the path '/var/lib/emby-server/root/default/...'

First guess was there were some erranous links in accessing the directories under /var and just tried to work around with a symlink "ln -s /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby-server".

 

What should I say, seems like it had the expected effect, library scan works.

 

Cheers,

 

Solemn

Yes, I went back to version 3. I'll try the symlink. Thanks.

[Akilian 5]

That fixed it! Thanks, Solemn.

I'm still on v4, the fix is quick and dirty but apparently works on both releases.

As this seems to to be coded somewhere in the source, is there a bug tracker or similar to file that?

And did you say you set up sym links?

[Solemn 0]

I did, but the log was from before... I then created a symlink 

 

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root    root       4 Jan 30 20:15 emby-server -> emby

Now it does scan library.

Thanks for the feedback.
