How to get back a removed library item


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi community!

New user to Emby here :)

I have just installed Emby and set up my media folders, when I noticed my Simpsons folder wasn't recognised properly (did'nt know that it was Simpsons). I found out I had misspelled the folder. I then changed the folder name, and did a rescan of the tv-show library.

But that didn't work, it still wasn't recognised properly by Emby.So i thought that if i removed it from the Metadata manager, that would fix it, but that just made it worse. Now i cant get Emby to show the Simpsons folder at all.

I have tried to remove the tv-show library, and rebuild it, but it still wont show up. I have tried to move the metadata folder from default position, to a specific position, and removed all entries from the old folder, but that didn't work. I have rescanned my folder about 10 times, but the Simpsons wont show up any more.

What am I missing/doing wrong?

Is my only option to uninstall emby and reinstall it?

 

Any help is appreciated :)

How did you remove it from the metadata manager? Sounds like you might have deleted your folder.

When I looked at the actual folder short while after I deleted it from the metadata folder, it was still there.. Now I can see that the folder and files inside is gone from my HDD....

So yes, your right, its gone.

Still not enough information to know what the issue is, and if there is even a issue. 

 

To me it sounds like a misunderstand of what delete does in the metadata manager.
