    Moving files within a library creates duplicates

    How slow are your HDDs that warrants this? Any ordinary HDD will perfectly play a high bitrate 4K rips. HDDs usually have no problem hitting 110MB/s read speeds, which is way more than necessary for high bitrate content.

    As for the initial storage of the file to your server, were talking about waiting a few minutes more if you just saved directly to an HDD. Once again, if we assume the write speed of a slow HDD to be 110MB/s, that's ~100GB written every 16 minutes (though obviously as HDDs fill up, their write speeds get slower...).

    Anyways, are you using something that would duplicate where your files could be found? Any symlinks or system snapshots?

    I don't want to download to a hard drive as it is about 4x slower than my download speed. I'm downloading at 460MB/s and most of the time it is 70 or 80Gb files. Normally I want to watch something straight away and not wait another quarter of an hour to watch from another hard drive.
    Not using symlinks or snapshots etc. The host Jellyfin server is running native linux lite 7.

    This persists through a full scan of all libraries or just a update new files scan. I have to manually click on the video and delete it to remove it from the library.

    Surely there should be some way of Jellyfin recognising files that have disappeared and then removing their entries from the library on a scan?

    I could not duplicate this issue on Jellyfin 10.9.7, on Windows 10. 

    I took a video, moved it to a new folder, ran a scan and the old entry was removed and the new entry appeared.

    I didn't have this issue on Windows 11 host machine before moving to using a Linux host for JellyFin server
