    Duplicates when moving files

    Moving files within a library creates duplicates

    I'm a bit confused about this statement. Do you watch things saved onto the drive or not through Jellyfin? The part that's confusing me is specifically the part where you state "only using the holding drive as a place to download and extract to".

    I tried replicating your behavior on a test server I made manually on Linux.

    To explain what I did in order, I:
    1. Added a new path to an existing library (library A)
    2. Copied an entire show to the new path, then scanned library A.
    3. Deleted the copied show from the old path.
    4. Scanned library A.

    I ended with no duplicates. The old copy was deleted, and library A has one copy from the correct new path on the system.

    You need to remove the folder too, not just the contents inside the show or movie folder.
    Are you getting any images to load on the duplicate?
    Where exactly do you get the error? While opening the show or while trying to play an episode?
