Hey all.
My server had some hard drive issues recently and I had to restore it. I couldn't find a ton of info on migrating the server but I did back up my Jellyfin data in /etc/, /var/cache, and /var/lib. I tried to follow TheDreadPirate's instructions here, but I ran into some issues. After installing Jellyfin on a fresh install of Ubuntu and copying over /etc/ and /var/lib files I was getting an error. I removed what I could, reinstalled Jellyfin, and when I tried to start a new server it showed my original server. It had my old paths saved and I deleted them and added the new, correct path. Everything works but now almost everything shows as a duplicate. When checking out the media info for items that show dupes, it shows the previous path and the new one.
All old paths have been removed from Dashboard>Libraries but I can't get rid of dupes after rescanning multiple times. I'm wondering if deleting all old library folders and creating new ones could solve it. I don't have a crazy amount of media so this is doable, but I wanted to see if anybody had a better idea first.
I attached a couple of images. It seems that new files added after migrating don't have the duplicate issue happening. Everything that was on the server before are affected.
