It seems to be a useful reminiscence of Emby: https://emby.media/support/articles/Media-Stubs.html
Having everything listed in Jellyfin also simplifies things with request systems like Jellyseerr (even if, here again, the detection of films on physical media is not automatic).
Indeed, with physical media, at playback time, it's the client's role, not the server's, to manage any missing media. KODI, for example, asks you to insert the disc and can even open its disc tray. On the other hand, a handheld device throws an error popup, that could be avoided if there was a way to see that the film is not streamable.
It seems to me that the nfo files generated by Jellyfin when indexing *.disc files should be able to contain streamdetails (even dummy ones), but that's why I'm asking you for advice :-)
