Unable to properly sort libraries, incorrect or no metadata

[FTA7700 0]

Hello,

I just moved (or at least trying to) from Plex to Emby. But I have big problems with sorting of the libraries and showing correct metadata for tv shows and movies.

 

My Emby server version is 4.3.1.0, Win 10 Pro x64 build 1903.

 

I have created 2 libraries - movies and tv shows. The tv shows library is full with any type of content (software, music, movies, etc. ), the movies library is empty. The episodes are not sorted in seasons. Complete mess. I tried to recreate the movie library with the same result. The files are locally stored. Will provide additional info if needed. Thanks in advance.

What paths are you assigned to each library?  But Emby is rather specific on content type libraries.  No sub-folder can be part of any other library.

Hi there, did you follow our TV and movie naming guides? There is a link to them in the library setup screen.

Hm, thanks for replays. I have one "downloads" folder and everything is there. So I cannot have a single let's call it "source" folder for all libraries?

Nope, I haven't. I'm going to, but I just thought the process of creating libraries is straight forward, similar to Plex.

 

 

P.S. I have only BRrips, WebRips or similar converted files. No DVD or BR files. All named like that example - Once.Upon.a.Time.in.Hollywood.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264 (that file is not recognised at all).

Sorry Emby is currently not there yet.  You can have a Movies and TV mixed content library, but TV at a minimum has to have a series folder for every show.

We plan to be able to accommodate a mish mash style of what you're doing, we're just not there yet.

 

You may want to try just setting on one single library using the mixed content type.

Alright. Thank you folks for the info. I will make mixed library then. And will wait for Emby to advance and supersede Plex with it's major playback issues.
