Hey there, I'm on Linux and I have my movies collection on a removable drive.
The problem is that if I use my laptop without the drive connected, the next time I'll connect it and open Jellyfin my library is empty. So I have to rescan, which is not a big deal.
The big deal though is that everytime I do this rescan, the movies are reloaded without my customized metadata, so I have to identify again every uncorrectly identified movie, and I lost every customization related to images, posters, ecc. The only information that seems to remain is the "watched" tick. Everything else needs to be done from scratch.
Is this supposed to happen? And is there a way to not lose all my metadata, and possibily not having to rescan my library everytime I use my computer without my hard drive connected?
