TV shows are not played from the corresponding folder - Mister - 2025-08-27
Guys, hi! Recently, when I open a TV series, I get an error saying "Unable to find a suitable media source for playback." However, if I move the series to a movie folder, it opens, but it doesn't open from the TV series folder. I deleted the media library and created it again, but it didn't work. The error appeared on its own, and I didn't change any settings. Help!

Please post your Jellyfin and/or ffmpeg logs. This sounds like a permissions issue.

I don't know how to publish logs, but permissions to read and write to the corresponding folders have been granted to both Jellyfin and ffmpeg
There is a video folder, which I have access to, and inside it are the films and serials folders. If I create a media library for movies in any of these folders, everything works. However, if I select a TV show, half of the series run, while the other half throws an error. I want to emphasize that I have not changed any settings, and the error appeared on its own. Could it be related to metadata?
