Hey people,
i seek your help on a strange problem I encountered while organizing the media files for a new show. Midway through creating the Season XX folder structure I started noticing that one Season had disappeared. Now I am certain after some testing that on a rescan of all libraries some files get deleted entirely without notice. I wasn't able to find a pattern though since for some reason one of the seasons that got deletes previously is now kept in the directory and identified correctly.
For what reason might Jellyfin remove files from my drive and how might I prevent this behaviour? (I tried to recover the deleted files but about 50 % was unrecoverable)
I'm fairly new to Jellyfin and this forum, so please tell me what other info I should provide.
Thanks for any help!
P.S.
Maybe I can clear this up a bit more:
I can create any folder with any name and they appear in Jellyfin under that exact name as an unidentified season. Any folder that resemble the names Season 15,17-19,21-25 just disappears on a rescan along with its contents. Seasons 20 and 26 seem to stay because there are specials released after them which are deisplayed.
