Where does Jellyfin really store collection metadata

You used to be able to edit the xml files and then rescan and JF would reflect the updates. Then that was removed with 10.10.0 I believe, which sucked.

I found a work-around.

Move your collections folders out of the main Collection folder (or rename the entire thing if you want to do a full rescan.

Rescan your collections. With the missing collections folders being gone JF will remove those collections from your library.

Once finished, move your removed collections folders back to the main Collections folder and rescan again. Not JF sees "new" collections to put into the library and all changes made to your XML files will be reflected.

I have been testing 2 Collection based plug-ins but one or both have seemed to caused an issue wher TV shows and images no longer work in my collections properly or at all. Stil a work in progress overall.
