Yeah we don't probe strm files on scan. This is to avoid DOSing the backend or pulling vast amounts of data into its cache, because you may or may not have permission to access the backend this way. Instead, jellyfin will scan shortcuts like strms on playback. While I'm sure the team would consider a PR that allows admins to configure this behavior, the playback code is quite hairy and it will be difficult to implement well.
If you really must have all the metadata in advance, there is currently no way around it other than to request playback of every single title through the api. The easiest way would be with a script but manually would work.
