Ok. But for all three points. I will have to reiterate. I follow the prescribed conventions. I point libraries to their own folders. Those folders do not overlap. I put the title folder in the library folder. I follow the canonized naming conventions and folder structures...
To reiterate once again. It, Jellyfin, could see them before. It could see them and play them.
I use the same structure both for movies and shorts libraries. Jellyfin sees the entries in movies folder, but not shorts. It could before.
And "sees" them. Is a generous description. As I mentioned times before. That while it finds files in the "working" libraries. It keeps them hidden and unidentified until I manually search for them by name, do a manual identify search and then, finally, they are available in libraries. That's a problem I have been tearing my hair out about for years now, but just gritted my teeth because the workaround, while tedious, usually worked.
But then, I now noticed that the workaround doesn't work anymore for the library named "Found Shorts". And after removing the library and readding it with the same settings as the "working" libraries... It can't even find the hundreds of shorts that are in the library folder that it could find before.
And the music library never really functioned for me. It keeps sometimes showing me unidentified albums, sometimes that library is empty completely. And when it does show, playback is nonexistant sometimes... And I try to identify albums, but soon enough, that's a wasted effort because it reverts to being empty again and when it shows albums again it reverts to unidentified albums.
It all feels like throwing darts at quantum dartboards. It's all so fickle and ephemeral. I never can assume what is needed or what star sign it expects...
