Problems with content mapping - Eduardo Andrade Machado - 2024-06-02

Hello everyone! I am using Google Translate, so I apologize if there are any errors in my writing.

After some recent update, my libraries started to disorganize automatically. I believe I may have made some mistake in naming my files.

To give more context, I am using Jellyfin as my personal course library. I configure my courses as series because the structure is very similar, although there are some limitations regarding adding teaching materials to each lesson. The platform has been working well for me.

Unfortunately, after some recent update, my organization got completely broken, merging several lessons from separate modules into one, creating special modules, among other similar problems.

I am using the organization below:

Courses
└── Course Name
    ├── 01 - Module name
    │  ├── 01 - Class name.mkv
    │  ├── 02 - Class name.mkv
    ├── 02 - Module name
    │  ├── 01 - Class name.mkv
    │  └── 02 - Class name.mkv


Based on the above model, I try to include in the file/folder name the respective enumeration information that should be displayed and their respective names to facilitate quick identification.

I basically leave all metadata finders turned off to prevent them from "finding" something by mistake.

I would like some suggestions on how to improve my organization so that Jellyfin works correctly for me again.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Specifications:

I installed my Jellyfin on an Ubuntu Server (apt install).
Current version: 10.9.4

There is a bug with named season folders like you have. Revert to 10.9.3. There will be a fix in .5 for this bug.


RE: Problems with content mapping - Eduardo Andrade Machado - 2024-06-02

Could you recommend a tutorial that teaches me how to do this safely?

I'm a beginner and I'm not sure how to do this.

I thank!


RE: Problems with content mapping - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-02

Code:
sudo cp -pR /var/lib/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin_backup
sudo cp -pR /etc/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin_backup
sudo apt purge jellyfin*

Then go here and get the server and web packages for your version of ubuntu (20.04/22.04/24.04)

https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/ubuntu/stable/v10.9.3/amd64/

Once you have both web and server downloaded replace ubu2404 with whichever version you downloaded

Code:
sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg6
sudo dpkg -i jellyfin-server_10.9.3+ubu2404_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i jellyfin-web_10.9.3+ubu2404_amd64.deb

Then restore your files.

Code:
sudo cp -pR /var/lib/jellyfin_backup /var/lib/jellyfin
sudo cp -pR /etc/jellyfin_backup /etc/jellyfin
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

I did this procedure but my "backup" did not work as expected.

It's sending me to the welcome configuration panel.

What should I do? I haven't deleted the backup files yet.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via pastebin?

/var/log/jellyfin


RE: Problems with content mapping - Eduardo Andrade Machado - 2024-06-03

Clear! Thank you very much

The link is here: https://pastebin.com/9PRfSc2U

A warning, after the method you gave me didn't work, I tried to start over with the new version, I figured that because the backup was made in 10.9.4 it could work again if the installed version was the same, so the log in this case It will be from this new installation, which, by the way, the restoration didn't work either.


RE: Problems with content mapping - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-03

That log looks fine.

Not sure why copying back the original files wouldn't work. I've restored simply by copying from a backup both of those directories when I had a hardware failure.


RE: Problems with content mapping - Eduardo Andrade Machado - 2024-06-03

I redid the procedure but now in version 10.9.0 and my data is back in place.

I don't know why it didn't work in previous attempts, but now everything is fine.

I thank!
