Jellyfin not starting after migration to other drive - Prozoon 700 - 2025-10-05
Good morning to everyone.
Since today, I've encountered a new error that I haven't seen before, and I'm unable to solve it. I have researched some forums and even tried modifying the migrations.xml file, with no result.
The issue I'm having:

Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
RE: Jellyfin not starting after migration to other drive - theguymadmax - 2025-10-05
Try removing both the migrations.xml and system.xml files from the folder.
RE: Jellyfin not starting after migration to other drive - Prozoon 700 - 2025-10-05
Tried to and didn't worked. Jellyfin just created new ones and continue giving the same error: https://pastebin.com/2Lj51KbD
RE: Jellyfin not starting after migration to other drive - theguymadmax - 2025-10-05
Try replacing the contents in the migration file with this one:

Something didn't copy right. Download and remove the .txt extension and try that file.
