No "Songs" Category?

[Misinthe 46]

Hello, I usually listen to my music in shuffle in "songs" and now it seems it has been removed? If I use "Artist" it will cycle shuffle through the same artist over and over, how can I hear all my songs together? 

Thank you.

My server had done the same thing, for me the reason was windows just updated and needed to restart. After that it went back to normal again, hope this helps !!

Here you go, this is from the server itself, but I also tried on an iPhone, iPad and Android phone and it's not showing anywhere.

My server is all up to date, and it restarts every morning at 5am.

Can you check the content type of the library in Emby library setup? Is it set to music?

Hello, I checked and somehow it got changed to "Mixed Content", which I don't know how it did, when it was "Music" before, and it won't let me change it back, I have to delete and rebuild the library, which I can't do because I'm having the Library issues from the other post! @cayars

Thank you for that, there doesn't seem to be a ContentType in my .xml file, should I just add one?

Yes you can add it.  Just don't add it in the middle of an existing section.

You could add it right before the closing "</LibraryOptions>" if you like.
