@Immer Do you have Empty Trash after every scan Enabled ? Are you using the Multimedia share AND a real shared folder ?

May I have the logs please (ZIP file) – downloaded AFTER “Scan All Files” ? There must be a symlink in there somewhere. DEBUG logging will let me see it walk through all the directories.

When I first saw it happen I tried everything within the movie settings/options including using the older agent options. But this should have been ruled out after the fresh install on the NAS. It was a total NAS initialization so nothing was left over from previous setup. TheRAID was wiped/lost an…

@Immer We’ve looked at the video (thanks). The ONLY thing we can think of is you have “Optimized Versions” of those films? Did you optimize those specific films?
