Hello,
I am having issue getting Jellyfin to scan my shows/series. I've followed the guild here https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/ to create the directory structure and file naming convention but I'm missing something. The log shows activity on each file, but nothing ever shows up in my Shows.
My directory structure:
/data/movies/ # Everything shows up fine in my Jellyfin app and browser
/data/shows/
├── Series Name [tvdbid-<5digitid>]
│ ├── Season 01
│ │ ├── The.Series.Name.S01E01.Pilot.1080p.BluRay.DDP.5.1.H.265.-EDGE2020.mkv
│ │ ├── The.Series.Name.S01E02.The.Show.Title.1080p.BluRay.DDP.5.1.H.265.-EDGE2020.mkv
│ │ └── The.Series.Name.S01E03.The.Show.Title.1080p.BluRay.DDP.5.1.H.265.-EDGE2020.mkv
etc....
The log activity on the individual files seems to indicate JF finds the series files and processes them:
Have zero idea why shows up in the log. I don't have anything resembling Masked Singer anywhere in my media.
I don't find anything else in the log to indicate an issue. In any case, nothing ever shows up in my Shows Library. I've triggered a scan and replace all several times.
Appreciate any words of wisdom...
Thank you
TD
