Error reading folder - ZZC - 2024-02-10

Hello,

I am trying to figure out why Jellyfin doesn't have access to a folder.
The only error I can find in the logs are:

[2024-02-10 19:02:04.881 +01:00] [ERR] [10] Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Error watching path: "D:\Anime Serier"
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Error reading the D:\Anime Serier directory.
  at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.StartRaisingEvents()
  at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.StartRaisingEventsIfNotDisposed()
  at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.set_EnableRaisingEvents(Boolean value)
  at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor.<>c__DisplayClass19_0.<StartWatchingPath>b__0()

I can add the folder, all of the content in the folder is set to full access to the windows user that installed jellyfin.
The jellyfin has no issues reading the other folders.

When you installed Jellyfin, did you select a basic install type or service install type?

I do belive I did the basic install.

Anyway, I made a new folder and copied all the series over to the new one. And for some reason it now works.
I have no idea why, would love to know. But I guess I am just leaving it be since it is working now.
