Cannot create library from folder - rudolf35 - 2025-03-03

I am running Jellyfin (10.10.3) on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 4TB SSD mapped to /media and the OS is on another SSD. There is another library already running, for the last 6 months, without an issue; this is our movie library which I just finished populating.
I now want to create a new library, Shows, to upload TV shows on. The interesting thing is that is shows the existing library on a folder that was not created by me and that I can not find.
The path on the drive is this:

pi@pifilmeConfused-facemedia $ ls -hl
total 3.1M
drwxr-xr-x  4 pi  pi  4.0K Jan  1 09:28 backups
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Mar  3 10:00 Filme
drwxr-xr-x 761 pi  pi  248K Mar  3 09:17 Movies
drwxr-xr-x  2 pi  pi  2.8M Nov 18 09:01 Pictures
drwxr-xr-x  3 pi  pi  4.0K Mar  3 07:25 Shows
pi@pifilmeConfused-facemedia $

When I look at the libraries this is what the path shows

   

Interesting thing is that I can add mp4 files to the Movie directory and the show up in the Movie library and all is well. When I attempt to create a new library I get the path cannot be found and I see the /media2 and media3 folders; Media2 holds a bunch of trickplay files.

   

The above is all I get and when I manually type /media/Shows i receive the folder not found error, but it is there.
