Hello all
Since my server debacle several years ago, I had to rebuild all my playlists in Kodi at the time.
Then came the second server reconfigurations and at that time i migrated to Jellyfin.
I listen to my music exclusively via playlists
I have created in an "apps" dataset on my truenas server which is a vm on proxmox. Jellyfin server is installed as an app within truenas scale
As I rebuild all my playlist I am somewhat confused on how Jellyfin manages (MACD) and play the playlist.
There is the creation and additions to a playlist. when i want to to add a track to a playlist i select add to playlists by clicking on the 3 dots of the song (or for that matter the whole album).
I box appears and offer to create a new playlist or add to an existing playlist. .... Perfect
My question are:
1) the available playlists shown in this box, were resides folder which jellyfin use to reads these playlist and populate this box?
On the main library screen the box is created I presume that once the playlist is created and populated, the playlist is saved in Jellyfin - data-playlists.
I regularly copy these playlists to my music dataset on my truenas server.
2) why are the playlists located in my music dataset folder when copied back to Jellyfin-data - playlists do not show up in the box for creating and adding to playlist?
Now that my system is now fully redundant and this process is fully automated, I would like to continue to build new playlists and i want to ensure that if i screw again (i will) i could easily restore my apps , my configurations and contents.
Thank you for your help
If more experienced individuals have a better way to manage this environment your recommendations are welcomed

Proxmox on all machines hosting OPNsense Home Assistant OS Truenas scale with Jellyfin in a jail in truenas
I still say to use less internet and use more cabernet (responsibly (only if driving))
be well now
