    Jeallyfin picking up all files in selected folders, not just media files

    Wondering if that's normal behavior from jellyfin?

    So, i tried to swap over from plex to jellyfin since they're charging now for my parents to stream off of my plex server, i added all the correct folders but it's basically adding my [edited] folder to the library i was trying to create which resulted in it picking up everything from [edited] to md5 hashes. My UI looks like trash because it pulled all of these non-media folders/files to the media folder. I can click on them but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated, sorry if this was answered elsewhere. Face-with-head-bandage

    Do you have other folders or files mixed in with your TV Shows and Movies? You want to have a TV Shows folder with nothing in there but TV Shows and so on with Movies. And have each type in a separate library for better metadata matching.

    There's no solution to this other than making proper folders for Jellyfin only.
