Missing media - ffejj - 2025-08-25
So I have a library with a folder containing assorted flacs and pdfs. When I scan my library, the folder shows up as a media item - it points to a pdf which is contained in the folder, and instead of the pdf filename, the media has the same name as the folder. And I don't see any of the subdirectories containing flacs.
My file structure:
Root_Folder:
..Flac_Folder1
..Flac_folder2
..Flac_folder3 etc
..pdf_instruction_manual.pdf
Creates a Media "Root_Folder" which opens "pdf_instruction_manual.pdf"
if I rename the pdf file extension to something like .old and rescan my library, the subdirectories and files will show up as expected.
This is a books library, if that matters.
Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
