Move Subtitles from Metadata to Media Folder

[ulrick65 30]

When I rebuilt my media server last, I had it download subtitles for my media.  I set it up to download to the Media Folder, but I did not realize (soon enough) that it was downloading these into the Metadata folder because Emby did not have write access to my media folders.  So now I have a LOT of subtitles stored in the metadata folder in the cryptic folder structure.

 

I am wondering is anyone has a good way to get these moved into the proper media location they belong.  I don't think Emby has a way to do it itself (if so, would love to know!).  I was thinking maybe writing a script to do it by filename, but since I have several locations for my movies and tv shows, that might be a chore.  I was thinking maybe someone has done this already?

 

If not, any thoughts on how to do it?

 

Thanks.

Hi, yea unfortunately there's no easy way to move them.

 

Best i can think of is due a recursive delete of .srt files from the metadata folder, then run a library scan followed by the subtitle download scheduled task.

Thanks.  I figured that might be the easiest...hate to have it redownload thousands of subtitles...but probably easier then me taking the time to write a script to do it.

Yes indeed.
