    Moved data directory using datadir option, some bits not working...

    I moved my data directory from D:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server to  C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server and used the datadir option on the service command line. In order to take advantage of an SSD drive.

    Most of Jellyfin seems to be working okay, for example logs now go to the new drive and I can playback just fine.  Unfortunately it is not indexing new shows (or movies or music) if I look in the log file I see the error below.  Is there a job I can run to fix these hardcoded paths?

    Version info:

    Server version 10.10.6
    Web version 10.10.6 (c335a3024)
    Build version 10.10.6

    Running on Windows 10 

    Thanks, Dan
