The content is stored on USB hard drives attached to the same computer. Due to a quirk in home assistant OS, they are mounted through SMB shares, however jellyfin sees them as local directories (/mnt/Lyre/Video/Other)
I dug through the logs for the server. There's nothing in it of relevance. All we get relating to the directory is “watching directory /mnt/Lyre/Video/Other" which looks identical to the line “watching directory /mnt/Lyre/Video/Movies" which is working perfectly. There are no errors, warnings, or exceptions. But the real head scratcher is that I moved those files into the movies folder where they had been originally, and they still don't reappear there even though I used to be able to see them before I moved them to other.
As for verifying permissions, I SSH'd into the server and verified the permissions, the "Other" folder, and the files within it are all owned by root root with permissions of rwxr-xr-x, the same as the videos in the "Movies" and "TV" folders which work properly. Without any error messages in the jellyfin log relating to being unable to access that folder, it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue. It's just treating it as if that folder is completely empty, despite the video files within it.
