Hi! I installed Jellyfin again on my machine after I switched from windows to linux a while ago. Server setup and everything else went normal but after the initial setup, after logging into my account, I was only able to see one (John Wick Chapter 1) of the movies of the ones I had in the 'Movies' library (the library folder had a total of 5 movies - John Wick Chapter 1,2,3,4 and one other movie), its poster did not load either.
I ignored it and continued setting up other stuff like hardware acceleration and tested playback on the only movie I was able to choose from in the library, the poster did load after I clicked on the movie, before playback (it was the correct poster too - Jellyfin detected the movie correctly) and the playback went smooth, quick and hardware acceleration seemed to work on my Nvidia GPU.
Though I wasn't able to see other movies.
After I tried out John Wick 1, the movie moved into the 'continue watching' section and John Wick Chapter 2 appeared in recently added movies on the home page, the 'Movies' library still having the first chapter only, things in it did not change at all. Both of them on the home page still did not have any posters.
If I clicked on John Wick Chapter 2 on the home page I could see Chapter 3 in the 'More Like This' section but also without poster which loads after I click on it.
It did work fine in the windows installation and I can't figure out why it is behaving like that, I have tried multiple reinstallations and the docker image and the same issue occurs. Also, once, it did show all movies in the library but the posters still did not load so I reinstalled again and the same thing happened again.
Here is how my Movies folder looks which is added to the movies library -
P.S - the poster.jpg files are also added by Jellyfin when I enabled save artwork into folders setting in the library settings, before I reinstalled it multiple times because of this issue. Right now, the library is on the default settings.
Thanks in advance! I tried my best to explain my problem and I am sorry if I was not able to do it very well
OS:- Arch Linux + KDE Plama 6
Installation:- Installed jellyfin using yay -S jellyfin-server, yay -S jellyfin-web (but like I mentioned, I tried the docker image too, same issue occurs)
Jellyfin Version:- 10.9.9
I am on a laptop with an intel igpu and an Nvidia dgpu, if that matters
