qBittorrent official forums

Since I have installed Emby Server there have been missing files in QB. Nothing will have changed with the files than I am aware of, though perhaps meta data has been added. Is that likely to have caused the issues I am facing?

hi,

File addition will not hurts but file change well (metadata, name, etc).
Not familiar with Emby but such questions are on hteir forum https://emby.media/community/index.php? ... -altering/

(just taking the first example).

So either you check if this is feasible with Emby or you check for another solution. For example sharing torrents through SMB for a Kodi instance won't hurt.
