Thank you both for your replies.
My Jellyfin files are named correctly 100%.
So I've done some experimenting and once its loaded the page i.e this morning, I click on the same assets again and it dosn't spin up the hard drives, so they must be copied over to the app data as it is being browsed at least once. The problem is app data cache by default is set to wipe every 24 hours I believe by default under scheduled tasks. Would there be a downside to scheduling this deletion once every say 6 monthly or yearly (or never?).
I mean in a perfect world I would have thought a copy of all meta data would be read from the media directories and copied into app data permanently and only changed if there is a manual user request? (and so would be updated in both locations).
It begs the question is my custom art work even being saved on the app data back up tool if most of it is not kept in the app data by default? For those with art in media directories how do you back it up, when its amongst so many video files?
@34626 Would that work? I fear doing that might get Jellyfin to update the art work from the internet if it cant find it and replace the custom art work stored in directories? Just sounds risky for the amount of time its taken to get it to where I am with it now.
