New Libraries are Empty - topaz024 - 2025-09-01
Hi all,
- My first library works perfectly:
'Movies' library:
c:\movies\
c:\movies\christmas
c:\movies\horror
(^all of the above appear in the 'movies' library)
- I created a new specific library for the subfolder:
'Christmas' library
c:\movies\christmas
- Christmas library has the exact same settings as the 'Movies' library, but is completely empty in the client
- Christmas library movies appear perfectly in Administration-->Metadata Manager
- Tried rescan all, still nothing
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Server: 10.10.7
Platform: Windows 11
Client: Tried web & android tv

Nested folders are not supported:
Library 1:
/path/to/media
Library 2:
/path/to/media/more
Needs to be:
Library 1:
/path/to/movies
Library 2:
/path/to/Christmas movies

thank you kindly for the response--it worked!
i must say it is triggering my obsessive digital orderliness to put multiple genre-based folders in my root directory 😄
RE: New Libraries are Empty - theguymadmax - 2025-09-01
If you move the movies from the main movies folder to a movies subfolder, then each folder doesn't have to be in the root directory:
c:\movies\movies\
c:\movies\christmas\
c:\movies\horror\
Then point each library to the correct path, and nothing is nested.
