Jellyfin looking in wrong directory - enzomtp - 2023-09-07

Hi ! Im having an issue were jelly won't start, i looked up the logs and saw this :

Code:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'E:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\metadata'.

  at System.IO.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(String fullPath, Byte[] securityDescriptor)

  at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)

  at Emby.Server.Implementations.Configuration.ServerConfigurationManager.UpdateMetadataPath()

  at Emby.Server.Implementations.Configuration.ServerConfigurationManager..ctor(IApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IXmlSerializer xmlSerializer, IFileSystem fileSystem)

  at Emby.Server.Implementations.ApplicationHost..ctor(IServerApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IStartupOptions options, IConfiguration startupConfig)

  at Jellyfin.Server.CoreAppHost..ctor(IServerApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IStartupOptions options, IConfiguration startupConfig)

  at Jellyfin.Server.Program.StartApp(StartupOptions options)

  at Jellyfin.Server.Program.<Main>(String[] args)

Jellyfin is looking up the matadata in a disk that doesn't exists anymore (i moved jellyfin), i read on github i could fix it, but i didn't find the metadata thing.
Does anyone know where is the metadata thingy ?

Thank you in advance !
Your cordialities

Manually edit the system.xml file and look for the line that says:

Code:
<MetadataPath>E:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\metadata</MetadataPath>

Change it where you want it to be.

If your registry go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Jellyfin\Server

The DataFolder value should be set to your new path.
