Library scan not finding movies


Recommended Posts

Found an interesting issue.  Tv shows and music are scanning and adding just fine.  New movies added to my folder are not being found at all.  Period.  All permissions are good and the movies that the original library scan play just fine.  For a little background, I have SABnzbd create a new folder for each movie inside my movies folder.  I have nzbtomedia script create new folders inside the tv shows folder, yadda yadda yadda.  Looking into this I noticed that the folders inside the movies folder do not have emby permissions.  Changed permissions and they scan and populate into the library just fine.  Oddly enough, the tv show folders (created inside the tv shows folder) are also created without emby permissions but they scan and populate just fine.  @@mastrmind11 I obviously need someone smarter than myself.

How do the permissions compare between the two levels?

jeff@jeff-N550JV:/media/jeff/Media Storage$ ls -l

total 164

drwxrwxrwx   2 jeff jeff 32768 Jul 29 08:35  Complete

drwxrwxrwx  12 jeff jeff 24576 Jul 29 16:19  Incomplete

drwxrwxrwx 135 jeff emby 61440 Jul 29 16:33  Movies

drwxrwxrwx  40 jeff emby 20480 Jul 29 16:10  Music

drwxrwxrwx  25 jeff emby 20480 Jul 29 16:16 'TV Shows'

 

All movie folders inside /media/jeff/Media Storage/Movies are as follows:

 

drwxrwxrwx 2 jeff jeff        4096 Jul  3 18:28  World.War.Z.2013.1080p.BluRay.DTS.x264-WESTSiDE

 

 

Everything populated on the initial Library setup just fine.  Absolutely nothing I add to the ~/Movies folder is being picked up during a scan.

 

~/Tv Shows permissions are exactly the same for root and sub folders but they scan and populate just fine.

just do a recursive chown at the top level of whatever you want emby to have access to.  chown -R jeff:emby
