Jellyfin not fetching metadata or creating .nfo files out of the blue - dlxfuentes - 2024-12-16
Had this start to happen either yesterday or the day before. I'll add new files and Jellyfin won't recognize them or create the metadata for them. I don't believe I've made any changes and even updating the client from my old version (10.9 I believe) to the most recent stable version didn't fix it.
There are no obvious errors in the logs but this appears anytime I refresh:
Code:

I then tried to run this command right from the command line which brings up this error:

Argument '1\Shōgun' provided as input filename, but 'file:"S:\TV\Action\Shōgun\Season' was already specified.This error is occurring both when creating new series and also adding in new episodes of existing series.

Can you share your full log via pastebin? And which folder is the library pointed at? TV? Or Action?
RE: Jellyfin not fetching metadata or creating .nfo files out of the blue - dlxfuentes - 2024-12-17
The log is too big for pastebin because of the size (had a separate issue with trailer fetching that I've hopefully solved) so here's a google drive link instead.
That one library is pointed at Action, but none of my other libraries are working either.
RE: Jellyfin not fetching metadata or creating .nfo files out of the blue - TheDreadPirate - 2024-12-17
It looks like your entire S drive is not available.
RE: Jellyfin not fetching metadata or creating .nfo files out of the blue - dlxfuentes - 2024-12-17
Available to what? I can still watch files on that drive just fine. I also have other libraries on a separate drive that also have the same issues as well.
RE: Jellyfin not fetching metadata or creating .nfo files out of the blue - dlxfuentes - 2024-12-19
So I backed up all my Jellyfin data and made a fresh new install. Not only does the issue still persist, it no longer recognizes the existing media I had no problem accessing before. This happens across multiple drives of content.
I'm truly stumped as to what the issue is here.
Edit: It seems like the TMDB plugin may be the culprit here. I disabled all metadata fetchers and that finally loaded the info from my existing .nfo files. I then selected TVDB for metadata since that's my primary source and it's fetching just fine. My next question would be, is there a way to reload that TMDB plugin? I can't uninstall it and I'm not sure where to locate the folder where built-in plugins would be located.
