Logger.error: Unexpected Content Type [Folder] was received

[Thunder7ga]

When try to import Emby info, it seems to be having issues with folders of "TV Shows" type from Emby. These have multiple folder paths for each, so not sure if that is part of the issue or not, but the errors on each import attempt (edited out server/user specific info). See attached.

Hello when emby gives Folder content type this means the content in question is unmatched which you can confirm in your logs by checking the guids key.

Now how to solve it

• match the content show in emby.
• Remove the folders if they don't belong to the show itself.

If you can't do any of the above, simply ignore the error. We plan to add support for suppressing specific error messages.

It's not importing any shows...as these are the root folders it is giving the errors on. All of my shows have the normal Plex formatting to them once it gets into the root folders (i.e. showname/season/episode).

It seems, the content type "TV Show" is not liked at all. Changing the content type of something else, like "Mixed content" in Emby made the errors stop. But, I still don't see it doing anything in the logs with the TV shows...only Movies.

Hello,

Rechecking your logs again, i don't know how you managing your tv shows library. This call supposed to be for a tv show page, which in turn showing probably the entire directory instead of the show page.

We use Series ID to make episodes play/progress sync work. and from the reply you can see clearly "ProviderIds":[] which mean the folder in question isn't matched and thus does not have Series ID to work with. Media servers and WatchState exepects standard folder formatting according to their docs emby, plex, jellyfin. Sadly, there isn't anything we can do it fix this as there is nothing i can fix to make it work.
