So I tried this and nothing changed so I went through and each series that was having the issue I made "scan for new and updated files" and that worked to get rid of the blank episodes and blurry poster images, however - it simply fixes it by recreating the relevant files in the ORIGINAL location the file was in before I moved anything around. It is like the server is refusing to update the location for each episode from the old drive to the new
for clarification - say Pokemon was in two locations originally, drive 1 under "Drive > additional > Kids TV > Pokemon > Season 20" and drive 2 under "Drive 2 > Kids TV > Pokemon > every other season". The goal was to simply move season 20 to drive 2 so it is all under a single location. For some reason, jellyfin is insisting that season 20 is still on drive 1 so it is looking for it there. But it isn't, if I scan in any way - it remakes the images/metadata relevant to the series in the original location.
I am going to fully delete the Kids TV library and remake it, see if that fixes the issue
