Scan not adding images - Liquoriced - 2024-12-04
I recently reinstalled Jellyfin on my Synology NAS and I'm having issues with scanning my existing media: the NFO are already present, and the information is correctly pulled in.
When I run a library scan, no new images are pulled.
The attached log shows quite a few errors, and I don't know where to start from.

What are the permissions on those files? Were they externally provided?

They are in a folder (Video) with rw permissions.
I'm not sure what externally provided mean, but I had those same files earlier in Jellyfin before reinstalling it, and they had posters and such.

Looking at your log again, one thing I notice is that your media and images are not named and organized in a way that is compliant with our documentation.
Each movie needs to be in their own folder and the images needed to also be in the movie's folder and named properly.

Actually, according to the guide, they can be in the library root directory ("Movies should usually be in the library root directory or in a subfolder for the individual films"), and it always worked this way.
I tried again running library scan with verbose logging, hoping that it shows what the issue is.
I doesn't seem to even attempt it, since it ends right away.
Does it show anything interesting? This all started when I installed the OriginalAspectRatio add-on, which I now removed.

If you only had the movies in the library root folder, that wouldn't be a problem. It's when you want to group together additional files, like extras, images, NFOs, subtitles, etc., with the movie that you need to have per-movie folders.
If it worked before, it was a miracle that it did. Having per-movie/per-show folders is just a good idea in general. Make things easier to manage. I can't image what your movies folder looks like with all these images and subtitles mixed together.
Tiny Media Manager is a great app for automating library management, btw.

Thanks.

No. You'd probably need to "replace all metadata" so that it goes back to the files it couldn't read before.
