Moving content between folders in a library - Six66Mike - 2023-11-01
I currently have 1 share for my Movies library but may need to add a second path. As a result of the new share and balancing things out, I may need to move films from the old to the new share.
When I do this, will the path change be easily picked up by Jellyfin and simply update the path, or will it rescan, pull new metadata, etc.?
Previously when I did this with Zappiti Video it would just update the path and all metadata remained, just checking if I can expect the same behaviour.

I had to do something similar when I added a new hard drive and split up a couple of the libraries across 2 hard drives.
From my experience, the "check for new files/updates" scan will pick up the new path. No change in metadata, IIRC.
