Duplicating Server - Weird Issues

[resiptv 0]

Hey everyone, have a weird issue and can't figure out what may be causing this.

 

So I had two servers, one local and one at a datacentre both utilizing the same gdrive storage.

 

My gdrive from local server got disconnected and emby decided to remove everything from the library. Instead of doing a rescan I decided to copy the entire contents of my datacenter server to my local server.

 

That worked and my local server is fine.

 

The weird thing is now everyone got disconnected from the datacenter server. I can access it by adding it manually but the profile does not save in the android app.

 

Not to sure why this is happening or how to fix it. Any advice would be great.

Watching on my local server, and both servers are saying that I am watching something.

 

Very strange!

utilizing the same gdrive storage.

 

Hi, storage for what exactly?

Instead of doing a rescan I decided to copy the entire contents of my datacenter server to my local server.

What exactly did you copy?

Storage of my media.

 

So I copied over the entire /var/lib/emby directory. I scrapped It all and copied over only metadata and library.db and it resolved the issues.

 

Was a trip, not to sure how the two servers ended up being connected.

Copied everything like that is generally not recommended. It may cause the apps to get confused and think that both servers are the same server.
