Libraries showing 0 contents - _Mayhem_ - 2025-07-03
Not entirely sure what happened. But this is frustrating. I know the data is still there as I can see it on my mapped drive, but JF thinks everything is gone. Entering each of the libraries shows nothing.
My audio playlists are the only things that didn't disappear. Re-scanning the libraries doesn't fix this. Restarting the container doesn't either.
I looked at the logs and don't see really anything than INF entries.

It appears that JF is forgetting where the folders for each of the libraries are, despite being part of the docker config. I deleted the movie library from within the server UI, added it back and it showed the path instead of 0 folders. Rescanning the library does show everything now, but this is kinda a pain.

I just wanted to chime in and say that it happened again. SQL issue?

It happened again. This time, I was able to spot this in the log:

I got this issue a 1-2 times in the beginning where my jellyfin docker was starting up before my "mounts" were available, not sure its the issue here but worth checking. You can try turning off directory watching and just manually update when you get new media and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for that. I honestly didn't know about this option. I guess I'll see in early October if that helps.
