Emby library scan not working

[aahmyu]

Describe the bug
Sonarr is not updating Emby library when adding a tv show. I asked about this on the Emby forum and @LukePulverenti said that you are using the old notification api and you need to use the new one.

System Information

• Sonarr Version: 2.0.0.5228
• Operating System: Windows 10

FYI Related MediaBrowser/Emby#3079

[LukePulverenti]

Yes, it currently will work for updating existing media, but not new media. The new API in #3079 is the way forward. Thanks.

+1 on this. I didn't realize it wasn't working until I spontaneously tried to grab some movies and didn't see them show up on my dashboard till i manually scanned.

Is there any workaround for this until its fixed?

[matejzero]

@s3627014 I think the only workaround is to increase library scan schedule in Emby to scan more aggresively.

Fixing this should be relatively easy, but I'm not familiar enough with C# to fix thix:/

[LukePulverenti]

What version of the server are you testing with?

[matejzero]

I removed the post because the problem was on my end (used & instead of ? at the end of request to send an api key).

[Corey-Evans]

Any progress on this?

Thanks!

The fix has landed in v3.

[1aTa]

This still doesn't work for me on v3.

[IkeTaylor11]

This issue still exists in Sonarr v3. Can this issue be reopened and fixed?

[markus101]

Is it the same issue, or is it a new similar issue.

We're also going to need to know what the issue is, "not working" doesn't give us enough information.

[IkeTaylor11]

the issue is the same as whats listed in the original bug.

I setup Sonarr to communicate with Emby, the Test button works, but sonarr never triggers a library update in Emby when new episodes are added.

Radarr is working correctly though. Can whatever was changed in Radarr be verified in Sonarr? I am using Sonarr version 3.0.3.668 on Ubuntu 18.04 with Mono 6.6.0.161

[markus101]

The fix was done in both by the same dev.

Besides the differences for the actual implementations, they look the same to me.

Either a mapping on the Emby side or not using TVDB would be my guess, unless the Emby implementation is different for TV.

Best to open a thread on the forums to troubleshoot, we'll need debug logs at a minimum. Check logs on Emby's side as well.

yeah its not mapping up anymore with Emby using the new API.. here's the log entry from emby's side:

2020-01-14 00:17:11.529 Info HttpServer: HTTP POST http://192.168.4.15:8096/mediabrowser/Library/Media/Updated. UserAgent: Sonarr/3.0.3.688 (ubuntu 18.04)

the path on emby is: /mnt/media/television/adultSwim/American.Dad/
need a remote mapping path feature like the download clients have but for emby with this new API.

[LukePulverenti]

@nayrnet did you use the optional network path feature in Emby Server when setting up the library? We could probably use that to do a backwards path mapping to try and determine the right location.

[nayrnet]

no they were local paths in emby, Sonarr is in a docker and had different path structure OTB.. I modified my docker to have identical paths to emby and its now working as expected.. but mass editing the paths is only feasible in the new Sonarr.

[LukePulverenti]

Ok great, thanks for the info.
