SOLVED: 1 of 3 Library Missing Contents

[jasonmbrown]

Heres the deal, I have 3 Libraries; Movies, TV Shows, and Anime. I recently migrated from Docker to a Proxmox VM running Ubuntu (for VGPU pass through). I have Jellyfin and Tdarr running on this vm.

Configuration:
The Media files are hosted on an SMB mount on my low power media box (this is directly connected to my tv). Jellyfin is able to see the files (as it scans fine). I have the metadata being safe as .nfo files inside the Libraries, including images and trickplay folders. 

I have all the config, data, cache folders located in.
/jellyfin/config
/jellyfin/data
/jellyfin/data/data
/jellyfin/cache

I dont know why there is 2 data folders (I set all the paths up, in the webUI, the system.xml, and the launch configuration/environment) 


Issue:
The Anime Library (mounted in the exact same way as the TV Shows and Movies libraries) Does not show any of its content. EG it never populates. If I create a new Anime_2 Library with Identical settings apart from the name, it populates instantly with whatever has been scanned at that time.

Additionally there is 1-6 titles that show up in the Anime Library (So I know its scanning), and the files in the anime Library can be searched for. It specifically seems to have something to do with the Library folder itself inside of jellyfin.


What I have Tried so far:
I have done a full wipe of the library.db (I dont want to wipe the jellyfin.db as this is where the user configurations are stored?)
I have deleted all the nfo files in the Anime folders.
I have wiped all the cached data.
I have deleted the "Anime" Library and Readded the Anime Library.
I have sat staring at the log file to no avail (Aside from a few basic font cache errors and the odd transcoding error) but nothing related to the library in question.
I have also tried adding anime2 library then deleting it (like I read someone had used to fix this), However it does not work.

Il post my log file if no one has any ideas. (I am becoming very frustrated as both my other libraries work fine, and populate actively as they are scanning)


The Only thing that I don't understand with my log is the Removing Virtual Season Null, and the other one where the Path: "". Im not sure what this is about.

Yeah the first step is going to be to recreate the issue and then post your log. In general this points to a permissions issue, but that's not a panacea.

Recreate the issue? How so it just doesn't load anything in the anime library? There's no error or anything else... (and each drive is mounted the same way, so its not a library permissions issue)

The issue is currently There..

Heres a screenshot showing what I am refering too. I have no idea how to get it into a state where 'a couple things' show up but nothing else does.
Recently Added Anime


I have no idea how to recreate the issue of this. And when I say there's no error I mean there was ALOT of permissions errors but I fixed them then deleted the library.db let jellyfin recreate it and it did the exact same thing. (there hasnt been any errors since I deleted the Metadata and recreated everything outside of jellyfin.db)

Fine for Movies, Fine for TV Series, Gets to Anime and Breaks.

The only thing I can think is that there is somewhere else that it stores the "Library" and this wasnt getting reset properly even after a deletion of the "Library". Since it works when I add an identical copy (settings wise), just with a different library name. It seems like Deleting the Library does not fully wipe it for some reason.

Im not sure if the site has rules against double posting. However I found the solution... I feel very stupid now. If you look at the screenshots in the prior, you might notice the blue (!) on the filter. Apparently I was filtering out the library by years 2024 and 2025 which was causing the issue, and driving me insane.

Also This is technically a Bug. If I delete the a Library and add a new library with the same name, it shouldn't keep the filter settings for that library.
