For the last couple nights I've been attempting to recreate this situation but haven't been able to. I've been testing by adding multi-version movies, adding those to collections, then renaming the version files so that they become something new. I haven't been able to get this to happen yet. Once I do then I can look at what improvements could potentially be made.
Carlo 4561 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Luke have you tried a corrupt file? I've seen strange things happen over the years when I file is corrupt and added to collections or playlists and just won't add.
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 @Luke The problem from my testing is not in the newer servers - you changed the item type in the db at some point - so it does not appear to happen with newish db's since that change the problem is a historical one - when the addition movies were a diff type to the main movie (cant remember the type number 16 or 18 maybe) they were not deleted when they were removed from the db or the main movie was - they then prevent items being added to the collection - not sure why as never bothered to track that back as editing the db fixed the issue by deleting the orphaned entries. So you are chasing a ghost if using a new db I cant provide an old example db - as i have manually corrected my db's 1
Happy2Play 9780 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Yes pretty sure you would need to look at a database of someone still experiencing this issue, as a new database will resolve said issue. 1
horstepipe 422 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 running into the same. I store my .nfo and art work within the movie folders. Will removing the library and rescanning it keep my custom genres and custom tags?
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 yes - but easy to confirm - remove one movie - do a lib scan - then add it back with the original nfo - are they maintained IIRC - removing a library and adding it back will not solve the issue

PenkethBoy 2068 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 two options as outlined in other threads - briefly and not in detail 1. delete old problem items from db(has to be done correctly so all parts are cleaned from several tables) 2. rebuild from scratch (delete.db file - make a backup first - and with emby OFF) turn emby off - delete library.db file - restart emby - run a full lib scan and wait till its fully completed will have side effects - like no watched data - but than can be restored easy enough
horstepipe 422 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Okay thanks. In the other thread happy mentioned removing the library would help, too...

Without path changes the odds of removing the library working are relatively slim. Unless you are verifying the items have been removed from the database also. Where changing the Path of libraries will write completely new entries. Even if old paths still exist. The database will remain corrupted with old entries breaking that old path forever.

bluemonkey07 590 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 what software is recommended to open/edit the database file?
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 make a backup first - as if this is your first time editing the db - its very easy to stuff up also the method to clear your error is not "just" delete a record or two - its much more complex than that good luck 1
bluemonkey07 590 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 i decided to go the nuclear route. i moved my library.db files to a backup folder and restarted emby to rebuild a new library.db . it is still rebuilding now, but already i can see my problem movies are back in their respective collections

Collections will be reworked in Emby Server 4.6 and then this will never happen again.
