Good Morning,

after hours of try und error i have the mover tuner partially working at the moment.

Problem 1 :

The Mover does not work in Media Server Mode

In Media Server Mode, the playback is not recognized.

I attached the cache mover picture.

The other 3 pictures show my folder structure and my plugin configuration.

Problem 2:

The Plugin does not delete files from my cache drive, although the 24 hour wait time is long gone.

The log says the file are still in range although the 24 hours are over.

What can i do to solve my problems ?

Thanks for your help.

i guess you mean the cache mover plugin ...

2 aspects to consider and correct

1/ multi mode, only when you also want files outside emby usage be taken care off ? reall ywanted ?

2/ check your configuration and may read the help texts ...

your config

blueprint and help text ...

may start correcting this, then we can loook further in terms you have still issues.

Yes I meant the cache user plugin.

I read the help text multiple times, but I am not able to adapt it to my setup.

All my file pathes are in my attached pictures.

Can you please give me a hint?

there are the pathes from your Server, sample /mnt/user/Media/Filme, now, how does your emby docker mounts look like ?

PWM Fans

This might be a stupid question, but how do I deactivate the cronjob? Even uninstalling the plug-in will keep the fans running at the prior setup values.

just delete the entry and hit apply

if you uninstall it, it shouldnt do anything anymore as note ... even if the cron runs, there is nothing to execute ...

so it may runs in the last state further ... if your intention is to let the BIOS take care again, a reboot is necessarry anyway, just as note

Your suggestions did not solve my issues.

The plugin still do not recognize the playback in "only" mode.

And the Cache Cleaner is still writing the content is "still in range " in the log.

What else can i try to solve my problems ?

well ...

while playing something in emby, run this in unraid terminal ... (replace YOUR_KEY_HERE with your access token

wget -q -O - "http://192.168.178.2:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=YOUR_KEY_HERE" | \

jq '.[] | {NowPlayingItem: .NowPlayingItem.Path} | select(.NowPlayingItem!=null)' | \

sed 's|{||g;s|}||g;s|"NowPlayingItem":||g;s|"||g;s|^[ \t]*||;/^[[:space:]]*$/d' | shuf -n 1

ok, then some screens from your setup page from cache mover besides Emby part ;)

I hope you find something

may empty your exclusions list, not needed in mediaserver only mode

may a screen from your shares page please to see your disk / cache layout for Filme and Serien

as requested,

or did you mean something else ?

I am not using the "nobody" uid 99.

My folders have the UID 1000, can the different owner influence the plugin ?

shouldnt matter

ok, seems your Media Share is download-ssd > array, then fine

is syslog activated ?

if not, please do so

now, when running a movie or a show (may change your wait time to a lower value for now, like 5), please execute in terminal

/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/cache-mover/scripts/cache_mover1

what is the respond in syslog ? you can also check in cache mover page then log ...

hmm, already running ... may some stalled process due wrong config from start ?

killall cache_mover1

and try again

The first resonse to /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/cache-mover/scripts/cache_mover1 was " already Running " in the log.

You can ignore the not matching Filme/Serien, breaking here log entry.

Somebody was using a library not using the Cache Mover Plugin.
