You could just add each genre individually. It would be a bit more work, but it will get you to the same outcome. Though one benefit of doing it this longer way is that it will make it impossible for you to mess up and mount the top-most folder to the library.

Sorry about the late response. I was going to suggest that it may have been a permissions issue. Like maybe you switched the user that would run Jellyfin this time or something like that.

Also, take advantage of containers. You're allowed to separate the important data from the rest of the service.
So next time, make a copy of your config folder. So if you ever mess up, you can always go back. For example, Jellyfin v10.9 will make irreversible changes that won't allow your config files to go back to v10.8.13.
With a backup, you could go back.

Same if you mess things up, you got a backup to rely on.

I would even say don't wait for updates to make backups too. You could manually (or with a simple script) make a copy of your config folder at set intervals. This way, you'll always know that you have some form of going back in time if things go bad.

1. If Enable VPP Tone mapping is enabled, then I get a "fatal player error" when I try to play HDR content
   
2. If Enable Tone mapping is enabled, then my NAS CPU is near 100%, the video stutters, and it seems that hardware transcoding is bypassed and it uses software transcoding instead. Unwatchable.
   
3. If none are enabled (ie. tone mapping is disabled), then the HDR content plays just fine, but has no tone mapping. So, colour is off.

Code:

version: '3.5'
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
#    user: uid:gid
    network_mode: 'host'
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./cache:/cache
      - type: bind
        source: /volume1/Media/Movies
        target: /movies
      - type: bind
        source: /volume2/Media2/Movies
        target: /movies
      - type: bind
        source: /volume1/Media/Shows
        target: /shows
      - type: bind
        source: /volume1/Media/Books
        target: /books
        read_only: false

Am I doing something wrong, is there another place i need to add volume2 so that jellyfin knows to look for it when adding a Library?

Can you add to your instructions, that Synology owners who intend to HW transcode their HDR content, should use Jellyfin 10.8.11 instead of the latest version. And if they intend to go with the latest Jellyfin anyway, they should disable both tone mapping options. Otherwise, stutters and crashes will happen with every HDR video that needs transcoding.
