So I realized, those files were in a “Concerts” type of library. I copied the files into my “Movies” type library, and alas there they are.
Not sure why though, I can work with that, but I’d prefer they would be in their own library.
Is there anything special with that kind of library I should know about? Or is this a bug?
Interesting is that I see absolutely no errors in the logs. Some folders it explicitly mentions it ignored them for being empty while they actually contain files. Not sure why.
Interesting. Thanks for that. I ran a chmod +x --recursive . in my library root but still those files won’t show up in Jellyfin.
Edit: I just found this link about file naming. Did I understand well that Jellyfin is expecting files to be named in a certain way?
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/
If that’s true that’s not really ideal, I expected I could just throw files or folders in the library root and Jellyfin would find them?
Lol ok your comment just made me realize my mistake, and I’d probably never see it and just go back to Plex instead.
So what happened is that when I imported my Plex library to Jellyfin I created a library named “Concerts” and content type I probably intended to click “Shows” but clicked “Music” instead which I’m guessing at this point expects only audio files, thus, never listing my concerts files on Jellyfin :)
That said, I think “Shows” is probably also not the correct content type here, I think they meant more like TV shows, like The Office or Friends etc. Probably the right content type is either Music Videos or just Movies.
Anyway thanks for the help, I wouldn’t have noticed my mistake if it weren’t for your comment.
