Jellyfin does periodic library scans. If it can't find files (or if somebody has locked them behind a password for some reason) then they get removed from the library. Your only option is going to be to disable the periodic scans through the admin dashboard -> Scheduled Tasks -> Scan media library. Obviously this means new things won't be automatically added to the library when they get added to your storage. Or remove the password on your media, which is how most people run their servers.
