bradw4248 1 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 So not sure what is going on with my server. Just about all my movies are showing up in duplicates of 20. I do not have this many in my library, I have tried scanning multiple times, deleting and adding the library again. Not sure what else I can do. Not sure where to start with logs Thanks in advance for any help.
Luke 42077 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Hi there, how are your video files named and organized?
bradw4248 1 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 All my movies are in a single folder with exact names. Format is usually mp4. TV shows are in separate folder with sub folders for each show. TV shows and other folders are normal.
Carlo 4560 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 If you follow the guidelines for movie naming and folder use in our knowledge base article you will not have issues like this. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102
bradw4248 1 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 So I should have said that I have been using emby for well over a year now and up until a week ago, I did not have any issues.
Carlo 4560 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 @bradw4248 Can we setup a TeamViewer meeting and I can take a look? If so and you're available in the next hour, install Teamviewer (teamviewer.com), launch it and PM me the userid and one-time use passcode. If not tonight send me a PM tomorrow and we can setup a time to do this.
bradw4248 1 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 So I'm not at home currently so I can show you emby but not my nas files. I am available tomorrow at work but Sunday through Wednesday I am home and can video to show you both. Just let me know and I can pm you to set something up.
Carlo 4560 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Just get in touch with me when you have a chance. Can likely do this anytime from 6am to 12am (midnight) EST most days.
bradw4248 1 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 So I ended up figuring out what happened... Not an emby issue I don't believe. Somehow my movies folder got duplicates over twenty times in the same folder I was sharing. I am not able to delete it for some reason unfortunately so I have to dismantle the whole folder and rebuild it. Stupid western digital
