Scan media library failed

[jaysn8 0]

Hey guys,

 

I am stuck with getting my media library scanned -Emby doesnt scan it any longer since I updated my portable setup from 4.0 to 4.2.1 recently. The scan is always failing with the notification "Scan media library failed". When I hit the "i" button the following error message is being displayed:

The libraries have been created years ago. Everything is running locally on a Win Server 2016 (portable).

 

The server logs are attached.

 

Can somebody tell what I can try to have my libraries scanned again?

Thanks guys!

Hi, how exactly did you update the server?

[jaysn8 0]

I downloaded the latest portable x64 version from the website and stopped Emby server. Next I backuped both the 'programdata' and the 'system' folder.

 

Then I removed the old system folder and replaced it with the recently downloaded system folder of the 4.2.1 version.

 

Finally I restarted Emby.

 

Is that correct?

[Luke 42086]

Yes that's correct. Looks like you may have moved the portable install folder, right? It used to be here?

C:\Users\Jan\Desktop\embyserver-win-x64-3.5.2.0

Exactly.

 

In the beginning it was running from the desktop folder and a couple of months ago I moved the entire folder to a permanently backuped folder on another local hard drive.

 

Can I fix this somehow?

How old is this portable?

When was %RootFolderPath%.paths added to the database?

I started with 3.5.2 and kept updating every once in a while.

@@jaysn8, are you still having an issue with this?

 

@@Happy2Play he might might be able to surgically repair his libraries by shutting down the server and then editing the paths stored in the files under /programdata/root/default

 

If that doesn't help then deleting the library.db file would be an option, or a less destructive route would be to remove the libraries from Emby library setup, running a full scan to clear the database, and then adding them back.

@@Luke Thanks for your efforts. I decided to make a clean install to have all paths correctly.

 

Now everything works perfectly fine.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback.
