path incorrect after moving metadata folders - remb0 - 2024-03-09

[2024-03-09 08:41:27.410 +01:00] [ERR] [82] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Error refreshing owned items for "/config/addons_config/jellyfinnew/data/root/default/Series"
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/config/addons_config/jellyfinnew/data/root/default/Series'


I use the addon version in homeassistant (the liniu docker version container)    but my metadata directory was to big to include in the homeassistant backup.
so the solution was to move it from:
/config/addons_config/jellyfinnew/
to
/share/jellyfin

I edited some files and the container parameters  and everything looked fine.   But still a lot of references to the old path,  and therefor it's not possible to scan libraries.
what are my options?

in the metadata page I see a path that I not can edit.
do i need to edit database,  of did i missed a file?   hoe can I solve this?

media is still playable and everything else seems to work fine.

I think you would need to edit the DB since a lot of those paths are written there. You could also try rescanning and using the "replace all metadata" option with all the headaches that might create with having to re-identify previously misidentified shows/movies.
