LibraryMonitor Disposal Fix - Summary

What Was Fixed

Fixed ObjectDisposedException that occurred during application shutdown when file system monitor timer callbacks executed after the service provider was disposed.

Error Message

System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'IServiceProvider'.
   at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Error processing directory changes

Root Cause

Race condition during shutdown:

Application begins shutdown and disposes IServiceProvider
LibraryMonitor disposal starts
FileRefresher timer callback fires before timer is fully disposed
Callback tries to access database through disposed service provider
Exception thrown

Solution

Added three layers of protection in FileRefresher.cs:

1. Early Exit Check

private void OnTimerCallback(object? state)
{
    if (_disposed) return; // ← Added
    // ...
}

2. Post-Timer-Disposal Check

DisposeTimer();
if (_disposed) return; // ← Added
ProcessPathChanges(paths);

3. Exception Handling

try
{
    itemsToRefresh = paths.Select(GetAffectedBaseItem)...;
}
catch (ObjectDisposedException) // ← Added
{
    _logger.LogDebug("Service provider disposed during shutdown");
    return;
}

Impact

✅ Clean application shutdowns
✅ No more ObjectDisposedException errors in logs
✅ No impact on normal operation
✅ Graceful handling of shutdown race conditions

Files Modified

Emby.Server.Implementations\IO\FileRefresher.cs
- Added disposal checks in OnTimerCallback
- Added disposal handling in ProcessPathChanges

Testing

✅ Build successful
✅ No breaking changes
✅ Addresses shutdown race condition

Documentation

Full Guide: LIBRARYMONITOR_DISPOSAL_FIX.md
README Updated: Added to "Error Fixes & Troubleshooting" section

This error typically appears when:

Application is shutting down
File system changes occur during shutdown
Timer callbacks execute after service disposal begins

The fix ensures these scenarios are handled gracefully.

Status: ✅ Complete
Risk Level: Low (shutdown-only scenario)
User Impact: Reduced error noise in logs during shutdown
