I don't have an issue with keeping watched data etc as I am only using the holding drive as a place to download and extract to and it doesn't sit there for more than a day. Only the actual file is playable, case even though the interface says there are two in the two different folders there physically isn't and it will just error if I try to play the one that doesn't exist.
Strangely I have figured out a fix ... sort of ... not a neat one but for some reason it works. If I don't leave the folder I've moved files from empty and I just leave an empty text file in the folder after moving stuff, Jellyfin's scraper then recognises the file is gone and removes it from the interface. Same with if I have two or more files in the holding folder ... when the script moves them over, only 1 of the files stays as a duplicate in the interface metadata. Seems like Jellyfin does not update removed files in a library, if the folder ends up empty?! This must be linux issue only as I wasn't getting this behaviour on Windows 11.
