Maybe it was the scanning?
I had restarted the PC and when Jellyfin came up the movie was present so I figured it had searched the new file in the new directory. The subtitles were not seen. As for naming, reading that link I see the thing about the languages and such but it also says "Jellyfin will search for external files that exactly match the video filename."
In the directory it is:
movie.mp4
movie.srt
I decided to try what you said. I moved the directory completely out of the Jellyfin media directory and went into the dashboard to rescan. It all went away as it should. I then moved it back in and instead of letting it auto update I did a manual scan of all libraries. This time it popped right up under the movie in the detail pages.
So best practices for next time is to force a rescan of the directory instead of letting JF do it on it's own? When Jellyfin first loads does it do a scan of the directories every time or only when I push the rescan button manually?
