### Two Emby Profiles — Why Both Exist
|
||||
|
||||
**emby-fallback** (every 30 minutes, Emby stays running):
|
||||
- Syncs: users.db, library.db, authentication.db, config/
|
||||
- Skips: \*.wal, \*.shm, transcodes/, logs/, cache/
|
||||
- Why: WAL files are written while Emby runs — copying them would produce a corrupt database on HOST2
|
||||
- Result: HOST2 is always within 30 minutes of HOST1 on watch state and user activity
|
||||
### The `emby` Profile and Watch-State Sync
|
||||
|
||||
**emby** (Sunday 2:30am, both Emby instances stopped):
|
||||
- Syncs: everything except transcodes, logs, cache, crash files

- Why: WAL is checkpointed on clean shutdown — safe to copy everything
|
||||
- Result: HOST2 gets a gold-standard Emby state once per week
|
||||
|
||||
The two profiles work together. emby-fallback keeps HOST2 current for immediate fallback.
|
||||
emby gives HOST2 full fidelity once per week. Neither alone is sufficient.
|
||||
Between weekly mirrors, Emby **watch/resume state** is kept current by
|
||||
`Media/play_state_sync.sh`, which reads and writes play state over the Emby API every
|
||||
30 minutes (CRITICAL_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS) — so HOST2 never falls more than one cycle
|
||||
behind on what's been watched. This replaced the old `emby-fallback` dirty-rsync profile:
|
||||
copying Emby's live SQLite databases mid-write risked landing a half-written WAL file on
|
||||
HOST2, and an API-level sync sidesteps the database-consistency problem entirely.
