IMO, what you should do is create a separate "Work in progress" library for this scenario. What you're describing is, I think, the expected behavior. Even if it is undesired. But what you're doing is atypical for movies. For shows there is a library option to merge shows when they are spread across drives that a movies library lacks.
The folder that the files download to are not empty folders of show names etc, it is one folder per library on each drive that is added to the library.
This issue is that the moving any files within folders that are in the same library then there are no problems .... unless you move files in a folder where it leaves that folder empty. It will not update even with a manual library scan. If I leave even just an empty simple txt file in the folder then the library updates perfectly fine. So clearly library scanning just can't cope with an empty root folder that is added to the library on the Linux version.
It would be better if I didn't have to rely on leaving an empty txt file in each of the folders that sometimes become empty, but as it fixes the issue then I'll have to keep doing it unless there is a fix??
