moviepalace4K 29 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 How can I restore the movie collection database that I accidentally deleted as a library?
Ronstang 294 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Did you delete your files in the library or just delete the path to your files by deleting the library entry in the dashboard? If the latter just add the path to your file store back into Emby. I do this occasionally when I do a bunch of reorganizing on my hard drives.

Als de laatste het pad naar uw bestandsopslag gewoon weer toevoegt aan Emby. Ik doe dit af en toe als ik een hoop reorganisatie op mijn harde schijven doe. I have deleted the Collections item in the server section 'LIBRARY'. How to fix this?
Ronstang 294 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) If you just deleted the "collections" part of your library then all your files are there you just need to recreate it by adding movies from your library to a new collection or collections. Now if your XML file is still there or has a back up then Cayars may be able to help you resurrect it easier. I was curious when I learned Flemish Edited November 7, 2020 by Ronstang

moviepalace4K 29 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Posted December 4, 2020 Sorry for this late response Luke, I had removed the 'COLLECTIONS' library because I wanted to create a 'spanned volume from 2 physical disks. Of the files that were on the original disk, I had to backup first and then format the original disk after which the 'COLECTION' library would no longer follow the correct path ((Think / Thought). The 'COLLECTION' library has now recovered by itself. 1
