Unable to delete directories - wanderman - 2025-01-11
Unfortionatly im unable to remove directories from my series aswell as movie folder. Anyone got a idea or had the same issue before? Im able to add directories.
Im on v10.10.3 on a Windows 10 machine.
The xml file for my movie library says the following, same goes for the series one:
<PathInfos>
Code:
<PathInfos>
<MediaPathInfo>
<Path>D:\Filme</Path>
</MediaPathInfo>
<MediaPathInfo>
<Path>E:\Filme</Path>
</MediaPathInfo>
<MediaPathInfo>
<Path>B:\Filme</Path>
</MediaPathInfo>
<MediaPathInfo>
<Path>F:\Bibliothek\Filme</Path>
</MediaPathInfo>
<MediaPathInfo>
<Path>F:\Bibliothek\Filme</Path>
</MediaPathInfo>Below are two pictures that show that im also unable to view more than five added directories. There are six connected but only five show up.

Have you tried a full scan of your libraries? Or restarting the server?

Do you have any themes or CSS applied? For me the list keeps expanding.

My server automaticlly restart every 24 hours.
I tried removing the css i had but it didnt solve the problem.
Additionally i tried to reinstall the server, without luck. Would it be safe to downgrade to 10.10.1 ? or is there a option to manually edit a file that contains the directories added. Im asking beacause it seems like just the ui wont display properly as well as dont want me to remove any directory.
Update: A year or so again i stopped using the standart Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe for windows as it didnt work with my backup strategy. Thats the reason i started using the jellyfin.exe, the one that just pops up a terminal window.
Long story short, for testing i set up a windows vm and when i use the tray app im able to delete directories. I still had a problem with invisible directories which where connected, as the number below the library name said 6 directories altough only 3 showed. To solve this i deleted the associated MBLINK-File within C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Jellyfin\root\default\.... of the directories i wanted removed. That way i was able to remove the directories i couldnt see. After doing this i tried adding and deleting directories using the jellyfin.exe and again im unable to delete directories. With the tray app im now able to add and remove directories. I guess its a premission problem of some sort. I havent had this before 10.10.1. I tried starting terminal and tray app with administrator priviliges without change.
