When I go into Emby on the new system (Home -> TV Shows) many of the series have no artwork. So is the NFO the container for the metadata? Why does Metadata under Path on the Dashboard show /var/lib/emby/metadata? Is that a default that can be overwritten by the individual libraries?

I assume they do not exist in that location. Sure there can be mixed depending on the options when you enable/disable library options and import media.īut your log show Emby lookin in the custom path and not finding things. It is either with media or not with media you can not have both. The dashboard shows the new location properly in Paths. I created "library" next to "views" w/same perms but that didn't help. In the log I see errors where it can't find folder "library/ etc" in metadata. Emby created a subfolder "views" w/same perms. Below that Emby created folder metadata (emby:emby 755). Perms on the mount folder in Ubuntu is 777. The local path is to a mounted share which is the same share I used for the optional shared network folder for my clients. I created a share on my NAS and set it up in Library -> Advanced. So I'm trying to set up a centralized metadata area.

NFOs and artwork are saved to the media folders. I'm still working on this, but I've put aside the cert for now. The simple way to test that is just switch the IP used on the port mapping rule at the firewall to point to your new machine when no one is on your system. Test this yourself first as it will vary depending on the method you used to migrate. When they try to connect to the new server the first time they may not be able to as there now might be two servers showing up with them defaulting to the old server. Then paste it back and save the record which will authorize them on the new server. You will need to copy the username, remove it saving the record. On the new server you will see the EC name but the person won't actually be authorized for that new server. There are a couple of possible "gotchas" if using Emby Connect. Once the new server is ready you just change the port forwarding on your router to point to the new server. That will also bring your users and their watched status over as well.
BACKUP EMBY SERVER INSTALL
If you try the fresh install use the Backup Configuration Plugin to backup/restore all the core settings to the new server. So you could try a fresh build and scan and if you don't like it then you copy the cache, metadata, databases, etc like the article Luke linked to. If you didn't save that info to the media folders then it will depend I guess on how many movies you had to manually adjust the first time around due to bad file naming, etc. If you used the option to save NFO files and graphics to the media files this will probably be ideal. Honestly it doesn't matter that much and depending on how old you present system is you might be better off installing a fresh copy. Hi, is your media actually mounted in Emby on Synology as nfs://fnas1/volume1/TV Shows right now?
