Server Version#: 1.25.6.5577 Player Version#: 3.104.2 TL;DR Bug replicating steps There is a library that has folder structure as in the following example: /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2 ... I need to exclude a few files from this library, so I moved them in a separate dir ‘B’ on disk root, while the re…

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did all the same steps. Problem is, in my case after adding new path while keeping the old one, it rescans, but only shows one path in “Media Info” tab for each item. And I can not tell if it is the old one or new, because new is a subfolder of old one, so the path…

Ok, got some results. This must be a bug in scanner algorithm (or whatever component(s) mark/delete lib items as trash). Even the fact that items that are not marked as trash getting deleted is an inconsistency in management logic. And I’ve double checked that fact, because applying a custom filte…

Info here: /vie is my NAS (‘vienna’) and the main grouping directory (as top level) tl for TL;DR :rofl: and the mount point then a, b, c, and new as the participant directories on the NAS Copied files into a, b, and c. For purpose of testing, moved contents of a → new You would lik…
