STRM files

[crusher11 1101]

The rc.local file? It didn't exist until I created it in vi, so finding others doesn't seem like a solution.

Someone else mentioned you were possible editing the wrong one and to check.  I don't know as I don't use Synology.

Googling "rc files in synology nas" quickly got me this discussion in which someone was having somewhat similar trouble to you.  Although it doesn't seem to have a simple boilerplate answer, it does tell you more about rc files, which might help you investigate further.  Time for more Google exercise, I think!

I just wanted to drop a line here and say yes, Symoblic links are a good thing to know how to use (for example, very useful on a linux seedbox to have symlinks which are in a "Completed" folder in addition to your "Downloads" folder so you don't accidentally get rid of something when a script moves a file or fetches metadata etc.)....

 

But they are completely useless on Synology. You would have to create a script to regenerate every symlink every time the OS is restarted...Just not a useful thing on Synology. Emby's STRM files are fine for this. And the metadata files take up so little space, and this is such a rare phenomenon to have these duplicate files... STRM is a good solution here.

Good afternoon. When grouping versions, you get such a mess in the form of (), although there is such an ending.:
1) 1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Cbilling).strm
2) 1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Glanz).strm
This problem is with the .strm files.

Hi,

You will want to follow the naming guide for this.
https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html#multi-version-movies

Take note of the subdirectory name and how each version relates to it.
It's important to follow this naming properly.

Привет,

Для этого вам следует следовать руководству по именованию.
https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html#multi-version-movies

Обратите внимание на имя подкаталога и то, как каждая версия относится к нему.
Важно правильно следовать этому именованию.

I did everything right, it's a server jamb.
If I add (Fox), I get () at the output. And if I add (Фокс), then everything is fine.

I think the - between kp-1171976 is the  separator.

1) 1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Cbilling).strm
2) 1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Glanz).strm

Try removing it.

Absolute not sure on this, don't do multi version, my self.

Those are not following the guide I linked to. Look at charact 8 above in the file names as each one is different.
 

For the 2022 release of Severance, having a tvdb ID of 371980 with versions for (720p, 1080p, 4K, Directors Cut) showing in the version dropdown we config it like this

/movies/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980]
/movies/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980]/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980] - 720p.mkv
/movies/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980]/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980] - 1080p.mkv
/movies/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980]/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980] - 4K.mkv
/movies/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980]/Severance (2022) [tvdbid=371980] - Directors Cut.mkv

The directory name should be the base name of the movie.
Each version starts with this same base and will exactly match the directory name followed by " - " a space, then a dash, then a space.
What follows " - " should now be different for each file version. What is typed here up to the "." and media extension is what shows in the version dropdown
It doesn't matter if each media file has a different extension as long as it's something Emby Server would use if it were a single movie.

I didn't wait for a response and redid the entire library, it turns out that if () is in Cyrillic (Russian), then everything is displayed perfectly, if in Latin (English), then everything is very bad.
Here is an example below
1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Гланц).strm
1917 (2019) (kp-1171976) (Glanz).strm

And what did those end up looking like?

@svyaznoy362this has nothing to do with Russian characters. That example is missing the required dash between the folder name and the movie file names:

Go back and check out the example I showed above for Severance (2022).
I showed how it should look on disk as well as explained how you the files are named.
