Hi, perhaps you saw my last post where I was commenting that my TV shows were showing up under Movies even though the TV shows were in "/tvshows" and categorized as such and my movies were in "/movies" and also categorized correctly.

I tried many, many things. Deleted the Movies and TV shows libraries, deleted files, dumped the emby docker container and finally uninstalled Docker and started from scratch. Nothing seemed to change the problem.

Here's what I did learn. I can create a library called "Movies" and store the file in "/movies" and things look like they should. However, if I create a folder called "/abc" and just stick some videos in there, emby will pick up that folder and display those videos in the 'movie' category. I don't even need to create a library or anyting. Apparently the native scanning that emby does is starting at the "/" folder to look for videos.

Is this an emby thing, or am I doing something wrong with my Docker container? I'm getting kind of desperate, and I'll admit I'm a Docker newbie, so any thoughts on which direction I should be looking would be most appreciative.

For completeness, here's my emby compose.yaml:

services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver
    container_name: embyserver
    network_mode: host # Enable DLNA and Wake-on-Lan
    environment:
      - UID=1001 # The UID to run emby as (default: 2)
      - GID=1001 # The GID to run emby as (default 2)
      - GIDLIST=1001,44,992 # A comma-separated list of additional GIDs to run emby as (default: 2)
    volumes:
      - /home/emby:/config # Configuration directory
      - /home/emby:/movies    # Media directory
      - /home/emby:/tvshows   # Media directory
      - /home/emby:/Music     # Media directory
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
      - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes
    restart: on-failure

I created the "/movies" folder, but "/tvshows" and "/Music" don't currently exist.

I'll also admit that I'm not clear on what GIDLIST should be set to. Just the emby user/group?

Thanks!

I have a 'movies' folder as well as a 'tvshows' folder. I am faithfully putting movies in the 'movies' folder and TV shows in the 'tvshows' folder. However, when I re-scan the libraries, emby shows me the TV shows (each episode) in the movies category. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the TV shows to show up in that category by show name and then episodes beneath it?

Hi,

Every October I winterize the camper and pack it away until May. During that time I put my Starlink account on "Standby" to reduce the costs. However, I would like to consider being able to use it during outages at my home.

Can I purchase another Gen3 router to connect to the existing dish?

Edit: The dish I have is the standard dish, not the mini.
