Wierdly, this fixed only season 2 and 5 of chuck, where seasons 1,3,4 is still double (rescanned a few times)

Can you share your jellyfin log via privatebin.net? Make sure that Jellyfin has permission to access this empty media folder. You may need to make empty "movie" and "tv" folders inside this empty media folder to more closely match the original location. And then add these to the appropriate library.

Looks like you also need to do an anime folder. But what you've done so far is, at least, cleaning up the logs somewhat.
Unrelated, you have NFO saver enabled and Jellyfin can't write to your new /media/media folders.

Check that the Jellyfin can write to the individual movie and show folders. Jellyfin have write access to the top level folder of the library is not sufficient.
