Wont scan movies

[JMR 4]

The library will not add movies to folder that is older only on new folders i have several hard drives when i add a movie to an older hard drive the program wont see it i can hit scan library and still not add movie but if i move the movie to  a newer hard drive then the program sees it right away. I see the movies in the old hard drive and play them but wont see new ones to add

Your permissions are likely screwed up.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'Q:\Thor The Dark World'.

Hi.  I see some permissions problems so you need to check those.

	file:X:\Into The Ashes\Into.the.Ashes.2019.1080p.BluRay.REMUX.AVC.DTS-HD.MA5.1-iFT.mkv: Permission denied

But, also, are those local drives or mapped network drives?  If mapped network drives, I suggest using UNC paths instead.  Much more reliable.

 

If they are local, it is typically a good idea to not use the root of the drive because the system may put things in there that cause problems.

 

Thanks.

@@JMR have you checked into what ebr suggested?

I have know idea what he is taking about i set up and then added the network map which did help load faster but then this started all permission are the same for all drives i thought maybe the hars drives where hibernating but even if i hit scan library will not add movie

[Luke 42078]

Hi, what do you mean by added the network map?

[JMR 4]

Shared networked folder \\Mainpc\d

Shared networked folder \\Mainpc\d 

 

Is that on a machine other than the server machine or did you just add in the "Optional Network Path"?

[JMR 4]

It is on the server machine

[ebr 16176]

It is on the server machine

 

Okay.  When I mentioned using UNC paths that was only if the drives were not local to the server machine.  IOW - mapped network drives are bad and shouldn't be used but that is not relevant in your setup.

 

Still, I do recommend moving your media off of the root of those drives.  Just create a folder called "Movies" or whatever and point to that.

 

Also, the permission issues are something at the system level and will need to be addressed (and are likely the crux of your problem here).

[JMR 4]

All hard drives have same permissions total control

[Happy2Play 9780]

That does not matter.  The root of the drive has hidden system folders that can and have affected users libraries.

[Luke 42078]

If these are mapped network drives, then i would remove the mapped drives from Emby library setup and add the original network paths instead.

Moved them into a folder and that worked thanks for the help

Thanks for the feedback.
