Folder Contents Not Recognized - KJC - 2024-08-04
I'm running Win11. Switched to Jellyfin as primary media server recently. Still run Plex and Emby concurrently with Jellyfin.
Jellyfin will not recognize contents of my M-Other folder (Movies-Other). All other movie folders on same drive are recognized. Emby and Plex both recognize files in the M-Other folder.
If I change the name of the folder to something else (such as M-Gay), Jellyfin will recognize the contents. For some reason, it doesn't like folder name M-Other. Any clues or suggestions as to why it's not recognizing this folder's contents? I've checked permissions in Windows and Full Control is set for all Users.
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

UPDATE: I renamed the folder as M-Others and now it's recognized. There must be something buried somewhere within Jellyfin that doesn't like the folder name M-Other. I'll live with the folder name change for now.

"Other" is a reserved folder name for miscellaneous extras.
