Jellyfin only showing a single movie - MissingNo - 2023-08-02

Hi, Ive been trying to setup Jellyfin from the docker container, but I can't get it to work. Whenever access it it only shows me a single movie on the frontpage. If I enter the library it also shows me only one movie. When I click on one of the characters in the library it shows me a single movie starting with that character. When I try to search for a movie it only ever shows me a single match (like only showing a single Batman movie despite multiple ones being in the library).

And according to the metadata it has found all the movies, though all fields apart from title and year are empty (though the year in brackets is also added to the name)

I have had Radarr organize the movie files according to the recommended setup

Code:
/data/Filme

And the owner of the movies is the user which is set in the docker-compose file and I even did a

Code:
chmod -R 777 *

just to make sure.
The same problem appears when I access from behind my traefik reverse proxy or when I access it directly. It also happens with both the official docker image and the one from linuxserver.io.

This here is the relevant part of the docker-compose.yml:

Code:
  jellyfin:

    image: jellyfin/jellyfin

    container_name: jellyfin

    user: 1000:1000

    volumes:

      - ./jellyfin-config:/config

      - ./jellyfin-cache:/cache

      - /data:/media

    ports:

      - 8096:8096

      - 7359:7359/udp #optional

      - 1900:1900/udp #optional

    restart: 'unless-stopped'

    # Optional - alternative address used for autodiscovery

    environment:

      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=example.com

    labels:

      - "traefik.enable=true"

      - "traefik.http.routers.jelly.service=jelly"

      - "traefik.http.routers.jelly.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"

Here's the logs that I get while running a library scan: https://gist.github.com/MissingNoIOI/ebb632a213c8e43e844cc1724e4c6320

I orginally wanted to switch over from Plex, but I just cant get Jellyfin to work and Im out of ideas at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have the same problem. Do you found a solution for the Problem?

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - TheDreadPirate - 2023-10-06

Sorry I missed the original post.

Its hard to say what the problem is, but 9 times out of 10 this kind of problem is permissions related. Especially if it is a network share, the computer hosting the network share has to provide connecting users read and execute permissions on directories and read permissions on the file.

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - skm94 - 2023-11-22

I installed Jellyfin yesterday and am having an almost identical issue. Jellyfin is installed on a PC running Debian 12 while the media files are on a Synology NAS. The media files are accessed from the Linux box via NFS shares.

When I view my "Movies" library in Jellyfin, only one movie shows. I can't figure out why it picks this one movie as it is not at the "top" alphabetically or in any other way. However, as mentioned above, I can click any letter on the right edge of the screen and will be given one (and only one) movie starting with that letter. Again, the one selected is not alphabetically the first for that letter, but it is not random - the same movie appears everytime i choose that letter.

I can also search and find any movie - though again, as mentioned above, only one version shows. Whatever I choose will play just fine, so Jellyfin is accessing the files without any issue. However, to eliminate any permission issues, all directories and files have "777" permissions both on the NAS and on Linux via the share folder. The ownership and group of all directories and files are the same, so I can't see any permissions reason for only one specific file displaying.

My install was via the "Debuntu Automatic Repository", following the steps in the documentation and seeing no errors.

Like a previous poster, I am currently using Plex but wanted to check out Jellyfin, having heard many good comments about it. Someone must have experienced this and found a solution! Thanks.

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-22

What are the mount options for your share on the Debian box?

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - skm94 - 2023-11-22

From /etc/fstab: 192.168.1.50 Confused-face

volume1/Media /NAS2Media nfs rw,actimeo=1800 0 0

I don't think there is an issue with the mount, though, as I can access all of the files located on the NAS directly on the Debian box (i.e. with VLC) and through the Jellyfin client from anywhere on the network (Win 10 box, Roku, FireTV, etc). I'm open to any suggestions, though.

For fun, I installed Jellyfin server on my primary Win10 box and it seemed to work perfectly using the same NAS directory for the media files. Something is preventing the Linux version from fully displaying media, even though it can access and play them via the search. Because of that, it feels like the issue is a config option somewhere but I can't find anything that would make sense. I've made no config changes and the installation is right "out of the box" with all defaults (as was my Win10 installation).

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - skm94 - 2023-11-22

As a further test, I created a directory on my Debian box and copied five movies into it. I set ownership and group for the main directory, all of the movie subdirectories and the movie files themselves to "jellyfin:jellyfin". All permissions are 777. Using a web browser on the same Debian box, I added the directory as a new Movies library.

I had the same issue. Only one movie showed in the client window, It would play just fine. Other movies could be accessed via search.

This rules out any connection issues with the NAS box as I had the client, server, and data all on the same physical box and accessed it from a browser on that box. It certainly points to a bug in the linux jellyfin server, or at least, a bad default configuration.

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-22

Do any of the directories in the path to your library have an ACL? You will see a + at the end of the permissions.

rwxr-xr-x+

RE: Jellyfin only showing a single movie - skm94 - 2023-11-22

If I "ssh" onto the NAS system, the files and directories do show the "+" on the permissions, however, this appears to be a norm for the NAS. There are no ACL management commands (setfacl, getfacl) available as these permissions are managed in the NAS web interface. When I check here, the files/directories have all permissions except "Change permission", "Take ownership" and "Delete", none of which should be of need to Jellyfin.

As for the directory I created on the Debian box, no ACLs at all. Just normal Linux/Unix permissions (777).

Dread: Thanks for the suggestions. They force me to double-check my work. I suspect once this is working, it will turn out to have been a "D'oh" and facepalm moment.

I have the same problem, have you found a fix for it?
