Not sure how to get my Media to show up on Windows Jellyfin - Linkone2 - 2025-03-24
I'm trying to get my Media to show up on Jellyfin, but each time I point it at a Directory, I either get a single entry, or nothing. I saw that Jellyfin needs Permissions somewhere on another Forum post, but, do I need to give such permissions on Windows? Doesn't Windows allow such automatically? If not, How would I go about doing that?
I also have my Media Folder set up with multiple folders categorizing the Shows/Movies/Series by DVD/Blu-ray/4k Blu-ray Quality, with Jellyfin pointed at the Directory containing the DVD/Blu-ray/4k Blu-ray Movies Folders. Such Files and Folders are on my E: Drive, because my C: cannot hold all the movies and shows.

If I understand how you have your files organized, you cannot "nest" folders like you've done.
You can get around this by adding each sub-folder, "DVD", "Blu-ray", etc., to the library instead of the parent folder.

Okay, just tried that, all the scan picked up was Megamind, but doesn't seem to want to play it. I have more that just that in those folders though. I'm not sure why only one movie is showing, but not really playing.

Can you share your full jellyfin log via privatebin.net? And what are your hardware specs for the server?

Well, I just rebooted and got the Media to play now, but, not all the movies are on the server from the look, and only Megamind seems to be inside the Movie Folder on Jellyfin, while the other two movies don't show up in it. I'm trying to run the server off my Gaming PC, i7-10700k, 32GB RAM, FTW3 3080ti, Movies are on a 6TB WD Black Gaming HDD 7200rpm. Is the Log still needed?

Yes. So we can figure out why the other movies aren't found.
Can you provide the exact folder paths for the movie that is detected and one movie that isn't?
