Duplicated Collections libraries in My Media

[fuzzthekingoftrees 10]

Not sure when this happened but in the web interface I see 67 collections libraries in the My Media section of my homepage. Each one contains the same set of collections.

I can also see the same libraries in the library set up. I also see them on the Android app but I hadn't noticed because they are to the right as I scroll and I don't often scroll that far.

If you look at these from the library menu what do they look like?

Do you see "mixed content" on all but one of them?  If so you should be able to delete every one of these mixed content Collections.

I can't see "mixed content" on any of the collections. And there is no option to delete.

Hmm a really old install, before programdata folder added (I still have a install like this also).  If you went to "C:\Users\nobsp_000.000\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\root\default" you only see one Collection library folder correct?

Did you remove this folder manually?

Yeah, it's an old install, been running it pretty much since the beginning.

I have 67 Collection folders the first is called Collection, then Collection1 then Collection11 then .111 etc.

Similar issues like this have been reported before, basically looping recreating this folder.

I would shutdown Emby, delete all Collection folders, start Emby and perform a full library scan.  Then monitor to see if this rogue folder loop continues to happen.

Not sure, probably, but that folder isn't in my user profile, it's an old copy of my user profile not sure when it got changed. My current profile, and the location of the install is in nobsp_000.000

This is a database path and should resolve itself with steps posted above.
