Full Version: Show folder not recognized, but most episodes are
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have my shows stored on a server, shared via SMB.  While doing some routine maintenance, I discovered this issue with 2 of my shows. I removed the source, and re-added it. Now all my shows have this issue in this source. I haven't touched other sources yet. A few of my folders are redirected, such as playlists.

So the episodes of shows that are in the source which were rescanned came up. The show folders themselves did not.  (And 1 random episode did not, not sure if related). All my sources behave properly otherwise.

For clarity, my shows are all <ShowName>\<ShowName> - SxxExx.xt.  Sometimes there is a year (if needed) or season if it is multi season
Don't know what I am supposed to see in a 20 line log.

I put a new log file here:

As you can see, episodes update. There are errors, but almost everything works as expected. The only thing is the show folders display no artwork as if they are not found,
You are using MySQL on v16.1.

The scraping process has no errors. But others will need to assist with why MySQL is not recording the artwork.
Other artwork seems fine. I'm wondering if I should just dump the db and start over

It's okay to do a spring cleaning from time to time. Staying at 16.1 is perhaps not such a good idea IMO, in light of compatibility with the latest scrapers.
Wrong thread to ask maybe, but if I upgrade, does the DB take all the old cruft with it? Or just what's current?
Why not export to Separate Files, start a fresh DB, and only the current info will be scanned into the new db.
That was my planned course of action if the DB took old junk with it. I don't like NFO files, but I have them and will have to back them up to be sure. I was really trying to be sure that none of my issuers were related to permissions
The database is upgraded and the data in it kept as much as possible.
Normally this should not be too much junk Smile

Exporting to files, and reimporting afterwards are a great way to get a clean db.
Keep in mind there are a few settings you can do in advancedsettings to also import and export watched state and resume points.
Especially the first is useful, otherwise everything will be unwatched.
