Description

I would like to request an option to ignore missing media. My library is quite large and impossible to stream from my current location. To compensate, I sync the latest media to a local drive and have Emby use that share location.

The format is the same just that some entries are missing. More or less:

Series A -> Exists
Series B -> Does not exist
Series C -> Only season 2 exists

Having an ignore option would do wonders in allowing my library to update entries even if the media does not exist. Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the library update and configuration handling, then trace how missing series and seasons are processed. Done means a global option lets updates retain entries whose media is absent, including partially available series, with behavior covered by appropriate tests.
